TPG says that salt makes limestone and metals corrode. Is there any proof to this other than what he says? I have never actually seen this or heard of this from anyone I know who has pools.
I would like to hear from other builders/pool caretakers what problems they have noticed in salt pools that they have NOT noticed in non-salt pools.
I lived on the beach for years and I know that salt spray from the ocean does corrode metal quickly, so I can understand that salt would corrode metal parts such as pool poles for brushes and nets quicker than just leaving them out in the rain, etc. I assume that salt spray would have a much higher concentration of salt than the pool water. And doesn't all water have some salt in it?
