Where is Skypebble used ?
Skypebble is used in many commercial and domestic applications all over the world. Here are some of the places where Skypebble is used:
Windsor Aquatic Centre - Sydney, Australia • The Marriott - Surfers Paradise, Australia • The Moroccan - Surfers Paradise, Australia • The Hyatt Resort - Sanctuary Cove , Australia

Is the surface rough ?
Although the surface is bumpy, it is not abrasive. This is because the pebbles used to create Skypebble have been finely screened and naturally tumbled, making the surface of the individual pebbles quite smooth.

Will algae grow on the Skypebble finish and if so, how is it removed?
Algae will grow on anything - even glass, but as the pebbles used to create the Skypebble finish are non-porous, the algae will not bond as readily as it does to other finishes. So the surface can be cleaned easily, without any risk of damage.

Does the surface colour vary ?
Variations in colour and exposure do occur because Skypebble is a natural product and the finish on the surface is achieved by hand. These variations help to give a Skypebble pool it's distinctive, natural appearance.

Will the pebbles fall off ?
A newly surfaced Skypebble pool will lose some pebbles after pool startups for a few weeks. This is perfectly normal and is not a cause for concern - remember, there are about 42 million pebbles in an average sized pool, so this small loss is insignificant.

Is there any special maintenance required ?
Caring for a Skypebble pool is no different than caring for any other pool. The correct water chemistry should be maintained by monitoring such factors as pH level, alkalinity, hardness etc. and adjusting them accordingly. As is the case with other pools and spas, a "calcium ring" or "mineral buildup" may sometimes occur around the waterline. Most cleaners designed to remove calcium from waterline tiles will also work on Skypebble. It is also a good idea to spot test a small area first. The cleaners can be rinsed into the pool, but caution should be used while working with these chemicals as they may contain acids. Always follow the directions on the container.
