Is the steel/nylon combo brush for a Pebble Tec pool finish? Worried about scratching and damage.

Yes. But don't use it on the ceramic or other type glazed tile around the top edge. It gets the sand / dirt out from between the pebbles and does a great job.

It's fine. I use it on my pebble sheen finish. I also called Pebble technologies (manufacturer) and they told me it was OK, as did a pool guy I know.

I used it on my old plaster with no problem . When my pool was refinished I was advised to use nylon only brush till the plaster was fully cured . Pebble tec is supposedly harder then plaster so should not scratch it .

I haven't noticed any scratching or damage at all, and it has lasted longer than any brush I have had.

I don't know what you mean by Pebble Tec but I have an in ground pool that I tried this in for the last couple of years and it wouldn't stay upright or it went too far up on the sides and made this amazingly offensive noise, you can adjust it but you sure had to do it a lot and it didn't last like it should have so I just bought a barracuda and it seems to be doing better than this did. I wasn't very happy with this product overall. I almost forgot, it also was sensitive on it's little 'feet' and you worrying the finish may affect it is a viable concern.

I don't see why not. Our pool is concrete with a pebble finish. We used one before in a gunite pool.

I have no idea as I have diamond-brite on our pool and this works wonderful for my pool. You may try asking your local pool store. But I can tell you for my personal experience, if they tell you yes, get this brush, its works great and well worth the money...and... its such a bargain on this site too!

Bristles are extremely stiff. I would have preferred a softer brush for indoor work, but will be ideal for cleaning the pool deck.

I don't see why you couldn't use the Makita wet grinder plus polishing pads to refinish the gunite surface of your swimming pool; however, I would want the input of a professional pool surfacing expert before touching that surface with a polishing pad. I paid about $2500 for a total resurfacing in 2006 and I don't believe that amount has changed too drastically over the years. My swimming pool would not have benefitted at the time from "polishing." Another couple thoughts: The sides of a swimming pool are usually rough-textured for a reason, so polishing may ruin the grip and turbulence a nature surface provides. Though the polishing pads that come with the Makita wet grinder come in graduated grits, the amount of surface to be polished in an in-ground gunite pool may destroy the pads faster requiring additional pads. Hope that helps in your decision. The Makita tool itself is awesome!

I've used a pool vac in my pebble tek pool for 14 years. I'm just now replacing my pool vac (I've replaced many parts, but now I'm replacing everything). The parts that come in contact with the pool wear out faster than if they were in contact with a plaster pool's surface, but that's to be expected since the pebble tek coating isn't as smooth as plaster. The pool vac keeps the pool very clean.

I have a pebble Tec pool and it works very well. Not familiar with Wet Edge but if it's similar I assume it will work.

I purchased a brush to apply this. I purchased the brush at pur minerals.com.

I have a pebble Tec finish and it works well. It hasn't damaged the surface either, so I would say yes

It does not have brushes, it is ment for a gunite / plaster pool, not for a liner

I have a plaster bottom pool and it works great. I can't answer to pebble tech but assume same.

Yes you can, just make sure when you put it in the pool it doesn't sit on the bottom, take the brush and swish around

I am not sure. But to let you know, I have the XL that I use for my pebble tec pool.hope that helps.

With a stainless steel inside, hot water and a cloth should be used to clean it. Any type of a brush could scratch it.

I have used mine in an electric drill to scrub my composite decking which is made from recycled plastics. It works great for that purpose; cleans and no scratching. This brush has softer bristles so you might not be as satisfied with the results for grout that is much more abrasive. You might want to consider a bit stiffer bristle or accept a shorter life.

Zodiac should speak to materials compatibility, but I have had no problems, and I have a saltwater pool. It is the quiet version of PB4-60 which was originally installed with my pool. It is very quiet. I have not seen any corrosion or deterioration externally.
