Which aggregate finish

[huskyrider]

It looks great and feels horrible.

This doesn't apply just to River Rok.
I've heard these same complaints levied against all the exposed aggregate finishes.
They're typically against those using the largest pebble. Those are Pebbletec, Stonescapes, Crystalstones, and RiverRok.

So does any other brand have a smaller rock or is PebbleTec's PebbleSheen line the only one.

Hi - we have Stonescapes, and I know that they have a "mini pebble" which is similar to PebbleSheen. Not sure about the other brands, however.

I think the key to many of the aggregate finishes is to brush, and brush, and brush! We've had water in our pol for about 3 weeks now, and have no complaints about the minipebble being too rough or sharp.

Take a look at these web sites for some other finishes.

We have Pebble Tec and it is great. Took a few days to get used to...but that was all. Regardless of what type of surface you have, if you spend several hours playing volleyball or something similar, your feet will feel it.

I just started our pool with Diamondbrite - it is not abrasive like the Pebbletec (my father-in-law has that in his pool).

We used Marbletite Marquis and it looks great and really isn't a problem on the foot. The first few days it did blister the kids toes but they were in the pool for 5+ hours. I don't count that because it hasn't happened since and no one else has complained.
