Moved from here.. Salt Water Pool and Expensive Bluestone Patio
Hello! I know this is an old post but I just put a pool in and have thermal natural bluestone coping and pool pavers around my pool. We have a salt water system and I am noticing the “picture framing” effect and stains from the water being splashed on the deck and patio. I am devastated seeing as the pool deck getting wet is making me upset! I can’t believe that the salt makes these marks and I had no idea it could happen. I scrubbed down the first time we used it with water and a brush. The splash rings somewhat came out but not the grout stains. I was told it’s normal and would fade over time but I’m still not seeing a change and we only went in once with two kids. I can’t imagine a party. We are wondering if we should seal it but I’m not sure...it might be worse. It seems a the polymer sand is “bleeding” into the pavers making a border around the paver. The mason said it was a normal look but I was never told it would do this. I know the pavers will change in color over time but I had no idea in one day. I’m afraid when in rains it will look awful. Any information will help, I’m just so upset.
