STONETECH Salt Water Resistant Sealer, 1 Gallon (3.8L) Bottle

We used this to seal our flagstone around our saltwater pool. 4 months later and it is still holding up great. Very easy to paint on.

Water is still beading around pool. Very easy to use.

Have had product on travertine coping around pool for over a month. Water still beads up on top of the stone but not nearly as well as when first applied. So, doubtful it will last 2 years, just hoping it will last a season.

Use this if you have a salt water pool. I noticed on my new home that there seemed to be a lot of dust at the bottom of the pool everyday. Upon researching the internet, I learned this is a common problem with salt pools and porous stone decking. I applied this and it immediately soaked into the stone. I noticed that even prior to curing, water splashed by my robot cleaner pooled up rather than soaking in, as it had prior to application. Fantastic. Even better because starting the following morning, no more dust on the bottom of the pool. I was going to buy 3-4 gallons, but upon reading the reviews, I realized it spread better than paint. I used about 1/2 gallon for a 23,000 gallon pool. Will definately buy again when it is time for another treatment.

I was really intimidated to do this project myself, but it seemed fairly easy after reading others' reviews. I bought the product a few mini 4" rollers and away I went! It rolled on easily and quickly all around the pool and soaked in with no problems within 15 minutes in the hot sun. We let it cure according to instructions. A few days later my daughter was impressed by the water beading on the treated rocks (she didn't know we had treated them). I can definitely see the protection in place and appreciate the success of the project. I wish I didn't put it off so long!

I have used the StoneTech sealer with color enhancer for many years for the stone coping around my salt water pool. I loved it!!! Typically, the seal would last for 2 years before needing to be done again. BUT that was the oil based product that I could not find anywhere this time I searched. This is a water based product. Its easy to apply but I dont see this lasting 2 years as one month after sealing the coping, water no longer beads up. I gave it two coats. Since it does not have any color enhancer in it, the color of the stone was not enhanced and it did not look much different after application than it did before. I was disappointed. Looking for the oil based product for next year.

Had heard about horrible degradation to natural stone when exposed to Salt Water. The wife and I decided to seal all the natural stone around our pool to protect it.Much of the sealers out on the market boast protection for natural stone however if you look into the fine print, they usually don't state protection to salt water.Once the natural stone was sealed, I didn't notice any change at all to the color or surface texture (like they promised). But as a quick test, after the 72 hour curing session I dumped a bunch of the salt water on the surface of the stone. Instead of slowly absorbing into the stone, it just looked like surface bubbles on the stone. It slowly evaporated and never once absorbed into the natural stone at all.So far so good, if you're looking for a good salt water protectant for a salt water pool, look no further!

Update:Well, we have used this product for the last few years and seal the pool end of every winter. It works at first, but not over time. This year we ended up having to replace our coping, and the pool company recommended another type of sealer. Would not recommend.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------June 2017Great product. Bought this and seal the coping myself. Took about 2.5 hours for a 33K gallon pool. Many area to cover. Bought a $2 paint brush and it was done.The sealer seals well and did not darken my coping. Will buy again and seal it once a year. I have a salt pool.
