Hi
I am building a new pool here in indonesia
It is an indoor pool with skylight above, it will get direct sunlight for maximum 1-2 hours in a day.
The weather is warm throughout the year (75-95 degrees F)
The pool (33’ x 9’ and 4.25’ deep) has a concrete structure and will be lined with ceramic mosaic tiles.
I am planning to use a 2 hp variable speed pump with a 200 sqft cartridge filter for the water circulation purpose.
For sanitation i was planning an Emaux SWG of 25 gram per hour. However i am a little concerned whether the salt water might damage the aluminium windows and other fixtures nearby the pool.
Would like to learn from experienced members whether a salt chlorinator is suitable for this setup and pool, or there is anything else i could do.
thanks

All too many times people in the pool industry fear the worst when it comes to salt water pools, when in reality all pools are salt - at least to a certain degree. Even if you never added salt, there's going to be salt in the water as sodium is a common byproduct in many other pool products, especially liquid chlorine. Those who use a SWG for chlorination maintain a salt level around 3,000 - 3,500 ppm which is quite low, and there is nothing to indicate that low of a salt level contributes to any problems in/around the pool area. To the contrary, most corrasion related issues are more likely due to poor product design of the product in question and not due to the pool water.
