You can expect the color of the water to vary depending on a variety of influences such as they position of the sun, whether the day is sunny or overcast, the pool design, the landscaping around the pool and the pool depth. The water color illustrations were created to show a range of color, for each WetEdge pool finish, at a distance. Water color is considered to be subjective and your water color will be unique to your pool and its surroundings. Product samples may vary from printed samples. Finish color and consistency may differ due to variations in natural materials, plastering techniques and pool water chemistry. Ask your contractor for a product sample. It is recommended that you view several pools when making a choice on a WetEdge pool finish. Some WetEdge Pool Finishes contain shell blend or moon dust which are crushed abalone and mother of pearl shells. Because of the unique composition of these shels they are not guaranteed from long-term breakdown of loss of color due to pol water chemistry.
