Replace stone veneer on hot tub spilling into pool.

[Bobusername]

The stone veneer on my round hot tub is falling apart after we redid it ten years ago. It wasn't done right obviously.
So the pool guy I"m using suggests Rstone natural thin stone veneers. At the stone place, we chose Country Fieldstone mosaic. It's not what I would have chosen from website pictures but we liked it.

Now I'm reading that in general, fieldstone is not good in contact with water. It's apparently too porous.

So, I'm wondering if anyone can confirm this? I'm worried about leaching also. I have a swg system. Part of the stone is underwater and spillovers flow over the stonework. I haven't gotten back to my pool guy yet.

Any general stone advice? Rstone website
Thanks

Is this a spillover hot tub Inyo a pool?

Show us pictures of the pool and hot tub and where the stone will go.

In general I recommend porcelain tile on pool/spa spillovers and walls.

Thank you for the reply. I did consider tile but don't think it's a good fit for my pool.
I'm going with the stone in part because my wife will kill me if I change my mind again. I've been dragging this out for some time before I remembered this site. I should have posted here six months ago.
The stone manufacturer confirmed it'll be ok in the pool setting if installed correctly. I like the natural stone look. It's what the pool was built with.
I'm in NJ also btw.
Thanks again
