How to Care for Pebble Tec Pools
Tip
Having balanced pool water is especially important if your Pebble Tec pool finish is made of dark or black pebbles.
Pebble Tec is short for Pebble Technology. This is a company that supplies outdoor pool finishes to homeowners. This is a unique pool finish because it’s made from pebbles. The pebbles offer homeowners a variety of color and texture options, and they make the pool finish stain-resistant for easy maintenance and non-slip for added safety. Pebble Tec offers owners of their particular type of pool finish several instructions for caring for the Pebble Tec pool.
Monitor the pH level, alkalinity level and calcium hardness within your Pebble Tec pool consistently for the first 30 days after installation using pool-testing equipment. The pH level should be between 7.4 and 7.6. The alkalinity level should be between 80 and 120 parts per million (ppm) and the calcium hardness should be between 200 and 400 ppm.
