I have just completed building a pool in my backyard and was in the process of building a pressure treated deck around it. Do you all have any preference on sealer brands or which is the best on the market right now? My main concern was the chlorine from the pool discoloring the deck. Thanks for help.

I'd be more concerned about the arsenic from the treated wood leaching into the pool and making a chemical brew for you to stew in.
Keep the PT for framing only and use fir or ipe or trex for the deck. use stainless steel nails or screws to fasten it down.
As for as sealer/treatment, Penetrol is one of the favorites but I don't know how it handles chlorine.

Yeah, My mind is taking little vacations today. Worked 77 hours last week and some fumes to boot!
