Sealing Sandstone around a pool - any pool contractors here?

I need to seal sandstone around a pool.  Great choice of material next to water, in know...

 

What do you guys use?  Really harsh sun and water exposure.  The stone is flaking so I need to do this.  I scraped it all down and it is ready to be sealed while it is still cool out. 

 

I have about 75 linear feet about one foot wide. 

 

I found Miracle Sealants 511 Porous Plus Sealant.  Is this stuff good or is there something better to use here?

You really need to get advice from someone local that knows sandstone. Your location (weather, temp, sun exposure, material) dictates what's the best product to use. I recently moved 1200 miles, and the sealers I used back there don't work as well in the high heat of south Texas. I have used Butterfield products here that have held up well so far, especially their Clear Guard Pro 350. It's a high gloss sealer. It looks wet but won't add any slickness. If you're worried about traction, you can add some Sharksgrip anti-slip additive.

I know this sounds kind of dumb but I sometimes check the "This Old House" website for info on the latest stuff.

They have good stuff on there.  I am checking an Audio forum. 

 

I am also a knucklehead.  I checked in my garage and found a gallon of sealer.  So I guess I don't need to buy any...
