Does the salt in saltwater pools deteriorate stone copings and waterfalls?

Possibly over time, but nothing you should notice for as long as you own the pool. You will however see a white residue on your nat. stone. This is caused by splash out. The water on the pool deck will evaporate, but the salt will not. This is easily cleaned up by hosing off the spots with tap water. If you do not clean them off in a timely fasion, it may cause excessive build up, which will have to be acid washed off.

∙ 12y agoSalt water will cause damage to some stones including travertine, limestone and some marbles. Large filed stones used in waterfalls usually hold up okay, however they do need to be sealed periodicaly. As far as using Travertine or Limestone as your pool coping you should be okay because that material will not be in constant contact with the salt. I recommend using a solvent based sealer on the Travertine or Limestone coping and deck materials
