My First post - high salt?

[rpoldervaart]

Over the past year, the stone has begun to degrade again. The stone guy told me the best method to apply the products was to literally soak each stone in it before installation. For now, I just shop-vac the coping/deck occasionally and the cleaner picks up the stuff that falls in the pool.

Getting 4-5 years of help is good. Do you think it would help to use the drytreat again?

Yes, I think I would probably get at least the same results. The applicator said the DryTreat was actually pushing the old sealer out of the rock as it soaked in, so since the rock has had no treatment since then, it may be even better second time around. At that time, DryTreat had more than one product for the same fix (one was applied, then another, etc.) Note: Some of it will get in the water causing moderate foaming, maybe some cloudiness, etc. In my case, the stone had to be hosed down several times as the old stuff came out of the rock surface. It cleaned up fine after a few days.
