Resin Pool ok for SWG?

[MisterC]

Was shopping today looking at above ground pools. Told them I wanted salt water and they told me the only appropriate pool is aluminum. They wouldn’t recommend the resin “salt friendly” pools as they will just corrode.

Is this true or just trying to upsell me?

'Saltwater' Ready Above Ground Pool Wall

Hello all! :geek: We just retired our Intex Ultra pool due to the frame rusting into 1,000 pieces and are looking for something more permanent. I installed a SWG in early spring and it didn't take it long to rust the pool apart. We couldn't keep up with the standard chlorine pool and the SWG...

Saltwater Aurora all-resin pool build thread!

I hadn’t checked in a while to see if the one I wanted was back in stock, and it is! I just ordered. Haven’t decided on pump/filter yet. Pool weather comes soon around here, and I want to get this thing installed before it gets too hot!

Hello all, We are new to this forum and new to living in Lakeland, FL. We have 4 kids that really, really want a pool, we cannot afford an inground, so we're looking at our cheapest option above ground but we'd like to sink it in the ground halfway and would like it to be saltwater compatible...

Have you ever seen plastic "corrode" as they claim? Impossible if the wall is solid resin......BUT......there are pools with steel "cores" that have been coated with resin.

There are 2 types-
Hybrid (steel wall w/ resin top rails, uprights & possibly bottom track)
Full resin ( with resin walls + all the resin parts of a hybrid)

With A hybrid pool or any steel walled pool the walls can rust whether you use salt or not simply because of moisture/ground contact but they are considered salt friendly because the top rails (which is really the only part of the pool exposed to the salt) are impervious to rust.
A fully resin pool like the Aurora is completely impervious to rust.

+1 to all above and also, without a leak, neither wall will ever touch the water. With a leak, any of the walls with metal will rust or corrode from the moisture regardless of which type of pool it is.

All of this is not to say that an aluminum wall pool isn’t a good choice for longevity if you can afford one - just ask @Newdude

But that the others aren’t terrible choices either.
Do you plan to bury your pool at all?

When taking mine down I tried punching holes throught it with a crowbar. I'm a big dude and was MAD at it for how hard it was to take down......... with power tools.

It laughed at me there too.
