| The company that put my Stonescapes pebble in said they
can't pebble the drain covers because it is illegal, and they would be liable if anything was to happen to somebody.We live in California, has anyone heard of this, or was it just a line of B.S? |

| It is Cali... strange stuff going on there. =) In Texas it's common. My neighbors have the covers pebbled. |
|
| It WAS legal and we did many pebble top drains. Like many drain covers, the pebble top drains became a victim of the Virginia Grame Baker act, and deemed unsafe. The drain manufacturers are working on a new pebble top drain that meets the safety standards. But last I checked there were none that passed VGB standards. So he told you the truth. |

| Thanks again kspoolman The reason I asked is because 3yrs. ago I had another pool done, and they pebbled the drain covers. So I was kinda not beleiving what I was hearing. So now I'm stuck with just ugly white covers in my nice Tropics Blue Stonescapes pool...bummer!! |
|
| can they put in grey or black? We have dark grey and they look much better than a white would with our pebble (caribbean blue). good luck! |
|
| Yeah, get them to put in some grey covers for the time being. Once the new pebble tops are available you could have them mix up some Stonescapes for you and replace them. |

| The white ring inbedded in the plaster will still show. Most likely you will need to live with it. Most plaster crews match the grate and the color without you having to ask or at least the PB should have known better. |

| We have black covers for our tahoe blue. Looks fine to me. Better than white for sure. |
|
| Just today a PB in California was telling me about adding a pebble finish to the drain cover that has a slight depression on top to allow for the pebble tec. That sounds different than what you are all experiencing. Has anyone heard of a VGB drain cover that allows for Pebble finish being available now? |
