Adding Pebble Shimmering Sea pros and cons ?

15 years ago

I have been reading thru all the posts here since I discovered this fantastic place. At this point I would like to thank you first, this is just the greatest resource for all possible questions coming up during planning or building a pool. Hopefully I will get some advice today as well.

We are in the last phase of building, in 5 days we will have pebble sheen installed. I have read about the possibility to add some pebble product called shimmering sea for additional sparkle.

Question: Did anyone here had that done before; does it really make a tremendous difference?

In terms of warranty, the pebble web side mentions that Pebble cannot guarantee the sheel materials against long term degradation or changes in color or brilliance. I already contacted pebble and wait for info.

Any input from the experts here is highly appreciated, thanks a lot.

I will post next week some pics from our pool build here in Atlanta ! Again, thanks. Mokay

@HU-384172484 I just got a notification about this post. I just wanted to say that we sold our home last year and the Shimmering Sea was still sparkling. We really enjoyed it. When the sun was out, it looked like the pool was covered in diamonds. I hope you enjoy yours.

I am not an expert, just a pool owner. I had Blue Lagoon Pebble Tec installed and added Shimmering Sea to ours and we love it. We are on our 4th swim season and it looks as pretty as the first season. It really sparkles when the sun comes out. I recommend it. I put the link below to another post I responded to and added some pictures. I hope you enjoy whatever choice you make.

@Stonesmama,thanks for sharing this,your pool looks stunning,love,love,love the pictures, I'm more into the lighter colors and I love the blue, we decided on the Aqua Blue Pebble Sheen Color( I had a chance to see that color in person and I think it is very close to what you have) I will add some Shimmering Sea to it for additional sparkle,you sold me on this, again, thanks very much, I'm excited to see my color next week !Have a great weekend, Mokay

Hello Mokay!

I could not see any pictures you posted 😩 Is there any other way to share them?

@mokay I ran across this post researching the same topic. Since it has been 10 years, I thought you could be a good resource as to whether the Shimmering Sea was worth it. We are doing Aqua Blue and just have to decide on this. Trying to determine if it really makes enough of a difference to pay the additional cost. Our PB recommends 2 doses as well, saying 1 will not be enough.
