I have read some reviews for pebble pools and cleaners that remove the finish. Does anyone have reassurance regarding the great white?

My pool isn't a pebble tech pool, but the great white does a fantastic job.

Ann, We have used the Great White cleaner in our pool for 10 years. We also have the pebble tec finish, and have not found any problems with the cleaner removing the finish. We were so happy with it that when we needed a new one (not the fault of the original) we purchased another Great White. I hope this helps.

We have used our for over 20 years with no issues at all. A pool will naturally degrade to some point with just time alone but this cleaner does a fabulous job.

Hi Kay: The white insert is for small items (jewelery for example) so they don't lay on the bottom of the tank. They'll clean better this way. The rack is called a watch stand. I don't advise putting watches water-resistant or not in a cleaner. PS-I was a retail jeweler for 43+ years. PPS-this is a nice little at home cleaner PPPS- try a internet search for CD-3800 ultrasonic cleaner instruction manual for more detail...my cleaner came with it.

If you can't find it here on Amazon then you might try "intheswim.com" or "bestbuypoolsupply.com". I have used both in the past with great results. One word of warning though. I own this pool cleaner and while it works great, if you have a gunite pool with an abrasive finish like pebble tech or quartzscapes it will wear down some of the parts pretty quickly. Make sure you can find the wear buttons and wheels for it too or you'll be spending a lot of money for a few years of service.

I only own the white but have had no problems with it. I absolutely love it!

Good question...so good that I don't have the answer. I will tell you this - there wasn't ONE word of exaggeration in my review..my grout was sparkling, like new white grout..there's the key word "white". My other bathroom has light tan grout. Zep got the stains up but did NOT BLEACH IT. since I'm only talking light tan, I would not use that as the green light to use it on your colored grout. I just looked at my bottle and there's a customer service line for questions like yours...I'm sure it's on their website too...Yeah, I know, you where hoping for "real world" results..well that can be you once you use Zepp then brag about your beautiful floors! Good luck &#128526;

I have not had that experience. But I have seen that the magnesium rod when it has not fully been used up turn white. I think it could be the buildup of minerals from the water supply building up on the rod and flaking off. Try removing the rod and seeing what it looks like.

I have the white and it got dirty within 1 day. I have tried to remove with with Mr. clean magic eraser, alcohol wipes and bleach wipes. Nothing. Still dirty. I just ordered the clear case, perhaps I will have better luck.

I have the white one and have owned it for about a two weeks or so and i am noticing a couple scratches and a few rubbed out spaces, but that is only on real close inspection.

I used this product on a plaster pool. It cleaned well, but It was very noisy, and I had to replace mouth pieces often. When I got my new pebble finish I switched to the Hayward one with the wheels. You can't hear it at all. It's so nice & works well. I can't believe I put up with that loud Kreepy flapping around for so many years. I would think if you used Kreepy on a pebble pool, the round rubber piece would wear down twice as fast, as the pebble finish is more rough.

I have recoated several worn spots with great results....But ---- do a small spot first to check it out.... I do think I would clean and recoat the entire surface....I think you are going to like the results.Old Nick

I bought the steps for my friends pool. It was in the water for just two months year 2014. The last time I saw it - it was still white and looking good. I would know better at end of summer this year - but that probably doesn't help you much.

We've had our white tray for over a year and we only use soap and water. The plastic has scratches and is a bit rough where my son scrapes the silverware. We have no flaking of the plastic though. We were worried about it based on reviews, but I'm completely happy with how it's performed. It's far better than the stokke tray. We've used it 3 times per day every day and the wear is minimal and barely visible.

Honestly no. It stays as white as it was when you got it as long as you use it normally i.e no greasy or sticky hands on it. If you have to clean it just use a clean cloth and tap water to wipe. Avoid using chemical cleaners.

We had two of these in operation all summer. When I emptied them (very nasty job - see my other answer) I lost one of the white tops. We did not notice any difference in effectiveness with or without the white top. They worked on many species in Utah. As amazingly effective as they are disgusting.

It looks "White" to me, but there are sooo many near whites that I am not going to commit myself. What do you use for reference white? Mine could be different!Cheers

I have. Best result apply and let dry overnight almost like crumbles the next day. Wipe away with a damp cloth. This is the only thing, and I've tried everything, that has made mine white again. I used in my kitchen too!

I'm guessing sometimes yes, but the one I saw in the store in Berkeley yesterday was more medium and light grays with virtually no white at all. I'd buy in person if you're near a Sur la Table to make sure you get something you'll like (or just go to a marble place and have it made from a scrap).
