This is my third season with my Intex Ultra Frame above ground pool and the horizontal bars have seen better days. My next door neighbor has the same pool, purchased the same day but his pool is not rusting at all.
The only difference is that I've used liquid chlorine exclusively (+ borax, and stabilizer) to keep my water clean. He, on the other hand, has used tablets every now and then, and not much else. Ironically, he doesn't really do much maintenance to his pool, but that's another story.
So my question is, does liquid chlorine rust metal? If so, what's a good chlorine product that will help me without rusting my pool? I'm hoping I can replace these horizontal beams come next spring (I pray to the gods I'll be able to remove those things from the vinyl sleeves).
Thanks!
