I will get photos up here shortly.
We have a Intex 16ft x 42" Pro Metal pool. Its like 3 yrs old. Overall been good. HOWEVER we went with there salt generator for a year. It broke last year during the first year of use. So we went back to adding chlorine. Shortly after switching back we started to notice rust appearing on the metal legs and connectors. Now almost every leg and connector is rusted through. One side is basically about collapsed.
I was wondering if anyone else that had a Saltwater generator every had this type of issue. ?
I am also wondering is it from the splashing of water while in the pool even with the generator in use that started this or did it happen after the switch back.
I am really ****** about this and right now as things are really tight with us to have to go and try to get another pool for the kids (4 of them under 7 yrd old !) in this hot summer here in Florida already.
Thanks
Mark
