Hi all!

I have problems with rust coming out of my salt water pool:

I have tried to open it, and it seems the screw heads were rusted:

I have replaced the screws by good stainless steel screws (316 / A4). That did not solve the problem, and the rust build up is continuing.

I have now just purchased titanium screws (which should not rust at all).

However, I am wondering if I am going the right direction. Does anyone have suggestion on how to solve this problem?

I thought maybe it could be a water problem, but I have a metal, stainless steel ladder, and it has no severe mark of rust (just a bit).

Grateful for any advice!
 
Welcome to TFP.

What materials are the surface and walls of your pool?

It looks like the rust is coming from your pool walls, not the screws.
