Yes, you can add powder chlorine to a Pebble Tec pool. However, it's important to dissolve the powder in water first before adding it to the pool to prevent any potential damage to the surface. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for dosage and application. Additionally, be sure to test and balance your pool water afterward to maintain optimal water chemistry.

It is not necessarily better, just different. The pebble finish can come in mini pebble and regular pebble. The mini pebble is pretty close to the quartz aggregate finish(diamond brite) as far as texture, feeling. The regular is much rougher on your feet( kids and sensitive soles can vouch for that). As a contractor I hear this question all the time , and the answer is: if you use your pool frequently, go with quartz aggregate, if you care about the way your pool looks, then go with pebble. Pebble will be around 30% more than quartz aggregate. It is really a matter of preference. Premium Pool and Pavers, Odessa , Florida 727 271 5975.

If it is under water, it is most likely a build up of alkalinity. An acid wash will be necessary to remove it. Pebble Tec does not recommend an acid wash because there is the potential for loosening the pebbles. But there is no other alternative except replacing the Pebble Tec. Shop around for a person that is experienced with acid washing Pebble Tec. Maybe ask your friends or a pool store for recommendations. If tech is careful, your pool should be fine. If you have a white line around the top of the water (either on tile or the Pebble Tec itself), that will be a calcium buildup. Pebble Tec recommends professional cleaning with magneseium sulfate (brand name MaxxStrip). They do not endorse using glass beads.
Pebble finishing for a pool's surface has its perks in terms of increasing the surface life of the pool finish, but indeed it can cause bruises; However, I haven't heard anyone getting a splinter from Pebbled pool surface. That can only be possible if your pool is unmaintained causing twigs or anything that can cause a splinter to enter the pool unnoticed.
It's all in the application... Pebble Technology trains and certifies applicators, and no other pool finish does that on a nationwide basis.
Yes if you add too much or add it before it can dissolve it will end up sitting on the bottom of the pool.
