Hi- we are not new pool owners having had a gunite pool for many years, but we are purchasing another home that has an above ground pool with a vinyl liner. We were told it is galvanized steel with a vinyl liner and the pool is about 11 years old. Vinyl liner was replaced 2 years ago.
Today we had the home inspection and the inspector found some large areas of rust and corrosion below the decking. We also found out the owners switched the pool to a salt system a few years ago. We cannot find out who built the pool as the owners of the home are not the original owners and the builder of the home is no longer in town. We are planning on a pool inspection, but have had a hard time finding someone who is familiar with this type of pool.
My concern is in researching this is that it looks like the owners should not have converted to salt and it is likely corroding the whole pool. Is this correct? What are our options at this point?
