Welcome to TFP!
Corrosion is extremely rare, though not entirely unheard of. In general anything that corrodes with salt water would have corroded without salt water after a little more time.
I strongly recommend against the Pool Frog. It does next to nothing to help and risks stains.
A great many people here have SWG pools and are extremely happy with them. Most of us with a SWG will never go back to being without one.

Run now!!!
Ditch the frog. Doughboy's are a nice quality pool and I doubt you would have any issues using a SWG...my cheap pool sure doesn't
Here is what we generally think of alternative sanitizaton systems...they may work for a while, but when they don't it's a mess.

Yes, the pool frog is pool store sillyness - save yourself a great deal of frustration and don't bother! 
If you ever had to make a warranty claim, just remove the SWG. Does the warranty say anything about adding salt for "feel", or just SWG?
And I am sure the warranty is so prorated that it wont make a difference anyway.
FYI--I have the same pool and use one.

I have been very happy with our Intex SWG. in talking with various pool shops looking to replace our intex with a real pool they are ALL trying to talk me out of swg and using the pool frog. Why are they all recommending them? lots of money in refills for them?
i got a aquatrol right before leaving for vacation ! gotta get home and get me about 500 pounds of salt and get started !
