How to Remove Stains From Pebble Sheen

Pebble Sheen is a type of pool finish made by Pebble Tec. The smooth, granite-like surface adds to the appearance of your swimming pool while also being durable and easy to maintain. The shiny Pebble Sheen surface is composed of small pebbles fused together. Similar to other pool surfaces, algae, dirt and other stains can form on the pool interior despite the use of pool-cleaning chemicals. You can remove stains from your pool's Pebble Sheen finish and should do so to keep the pool clean and sanitary.
