Granite Table In Pool |
Article Number: 98 | Rating: Unrated | Last Updated: Tue, Jun 12, 2007 at 12:00 AM |
Hello, I have a swimming pool that was build 8 months ago. We have a granite table in the shallow end. The top of the table is always out of the water and is not exposed to any pool chemicals. It does get direct sun (through a pool cage screen) for most of the day. The table top is starting to pit and always has small grains of stone (like fine sand) on the top when you touch it. The area that is pitting is no longer glossy also. I live in central Florida. Can you tell me if there is anything that can be done to stop the table top from pitting? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Dear James:
There are over 2700 stones traded as granite on the market (and counting). Approximately one do
Q.: “But… isn't that illegal?...”
A.: “Yes, it is. It's consumer fraud big time! Welcome to the stone industry!”
Having said all that, which “granite” do you have? I don't care about the fancy name they call it with: I want to know the actual mineralogy (real geological classification, if you will) of that stone. Do you have the information? Does the yard that sold it to you have the information?
Get back to me when you have it and I'll see if I can find a solution for you.
May I ask you now to please read and e-sign our Statement of Purpose at:

The consumers united are the only hope to see the stone industry getting straightened out:-)
Ciao and good luck,
Mauri
