Your question: What can I do to eliminate or slow down the occurrance of the efflorescence.

You would needto find the source of the moisture and eliminate it.

Sealing the stone on the outside as you mentioned and considering its condition with moisture, you may not want to seal it.

Elimination the source of moisture you may not be able to help and sealer may make the situation worse.

Good Luck

Hello partners,
 
I have some outdoor slate that has an efflorescence issue. They need this cleaned, enhanced and sealed. What can I do to eliminate or slow down the occurrance of the efflorescence.
Thank you
