Any pool Interior finish will dry out and crumble if allowed to do so.
Dry ice can damage pebble tech surfaces in pools due to its extreme cold temperatures. The rapid temperature change can cause the surface to crack or delaminate. It is best to avoid direct contact between dry ice and pebble tech surfaces to prevent any potential damage.
A 10-20% solution of muriatic acid and bristle brush will clean the pebble tech. Be careful, the acid will burn if it comes in contact with skin or eyes. By 10% I mean 1 part acid to 9 parts cold water. Always add acid to water not water to acid due to unwanted thermal reaction.
Leaving a pebble tech pool empty during winter is not recommended, as it can lead to damage from freezing temperatures and water table fluctuations. The surface may crack due to expansion and contraction, and the pool structure could be compromised. It's best to winterize the pool properly by balancing the water chemistry, lowering the water level, and covering it to protect it from debris and harsh weather.
yes
pebble has volume so water rises equal to volume of pebble
brush it with a strong solution of acid, Becarefull for your eyes ETC and then hose it down.
There is a web link describing quarts finish below. There is also a web link on pebble tech below. pebble tech and quarts are pool surface finishes (see the links mentioned above) Wet edge is a method of constructing a pool where by one or more edges of the pools side are built just below the waters natural surface height. This brings about a situation where water is constantly falling over the edge of the pool into a balance tank and then via filtration back into the pool.
It shouldn't after all the top of the pebble tech pool is out of the water forever and it doesn't seem to hurt it. However be careful that you don't get a build up of ground water around the outside of the pool, This can cause an empty pool to start floating and that will definitely hurt it. If you have a hydro static valve at the bottom that works it should be ok.
because a pebble is denser than water thus making it sink oil is not denser than water.
Yes, you can add shock granules to a Pebble Tec pool, but it’s important to do so carefully. Ensure that the water chemistry is balanced and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for dosage. It's best to dissolve the shock in a bucket of water before adding it to the pool to prevent any potential damage to the surface. Additionally, avoid adding shock directly to the skimmer or in concentrated amounts to prevent any staining or etching.
Pebble is primarily composed of silicon dioxide, which is not soluble in water. Therefore, pebbles are considered insoluble in water.
I doubt it and if it worries you, fill the crack with a cement grout mixture,
