it wears down, the underlying layer will be exposed and you’ll soon find that
it’s very rough on the skin. This can scuff up swimmers and because of its
rougher texture; it also holds dust, dirt and algae better. It will also become
harder to clean, which further worsen the wear and tear on the pool walls or
bottom. If left too long it will even lead to cracks in the structure of the
pool itself.
