New to pool ownership in SW Florida. Need to validate what pool installer and Pentair are telling me. My pool equipment is showing rust. I had to replace washers, which were severely rusted. One of the washers/screws that keeps equipment firmly on concrete pad, broke when installer tried to remove. I was told to pretty much live with it. The only solution is to take apart the system in an attempt to remove this rusted part.
Second related issue us the Pentair motor is showing rust as well. Pentair told me that only happens if not correctly bonded. Pool installer tells me it is normal for SW Florida and it is bonded correctly. My neighbors have same equipment and have no demonstrated rust and they installed 15 months ago.
After 6 months, this does not feel right. Any suggestions from the gurus out there?
