Stay away from any soft stones for salt pools. There are plenty of stones that will last forever. Ask your stone supplier.

∙ 15y agoIt really doesn't matter. The amount of salt in proportion to the volume of water is almost insignificant. Less than that of a human teardrop. Enjoy your pool.

Is there a sealer for flagstone coping on a salt water pool?
Answer from a Stone Person Any natural stone or masonry surrounding a saltwater pools should be sealed for protection to prevent pitting and flaking for the surface called "Spalling", This is caused by saltwater splash-outs penetrating into porous stone or concrete. The product you need is manufactured by DuPont specifically for stone and masonry surrounding saltwater pools.

What works best to seal stone coping around swimming pool to stop flaking?
The only coping that I have seen that "flakes" is slate. If that is what you have, that is the nature of the stone. It can be sealed against stains, even sealed with a color enhancer uv protectant.
Will saltwater harm honed sandstone coping tiles in any way?
Firstly, you should only have water that is treated with salt - not 'saltwater'. Pool water will always leave deposits in the pool and the surrounding area. If the coping is correctly sealed with a high quality stone sealer it will be fine if it's kept clean and deposits are hosed and bushed off on a regular basis. I'd also suggest sealing the sandstone coping a couple of times a year.

Can you replace coping on vinyl liner pool with stone?
Afraid not. Vinyl liner pools are built using "concrete receptor coping" into which the deck is poured. It also contains the "bead receptor" that the vinyl liner attaches to. Actually YES it can. You would want to do this during a liner replacement but it can be done. You would have to remove the concrete from around the perimeter of the pool, remove/ replace the "concrete receptor coping" with bead receiver, aluminum extrusion, form/pour a bond beam, then lay your stone. Not really an easy do it yourself job but it can be done.
Does treating coping avoid corrosion on pool deck and stone coping from salt system?
no. not unless you added some type of lip to the coping to avoid splash out. treating the coping would be protective to the coping only...which unless it was exposed metal would not prevent anything.

What is the history of swimming?
Swimming has been recorded since prehistoric times; the earliest recording of swimming dates back to Stone Age paintings from around 7,000 years ago. Written references date from 2000 BC. Some of the earliest references to swimming include the Gilgamesh, the Iliad, the Odyssey, the Bible, Beowulf, and other sagas. In 1778, Nikolaus Wynmann, a German professor of languages, wrote the first swimming book, The Swimmer or A Dialogue on the Art of Swimming (Der Schwimmer oder ein Zweigespräch über die Schwimmkunst). Competitive swimming as we know it today started in the United States started around 1800, mostly usingbreaststroke. Many Americans often used swimming competitions to settle differences in the frontier, such as property rights. In 1873,John Arthur Trudgen introduced the trudgen to Western swimming competitions, after copying the front crawl used by Native Americans. Due to a British dislike of splashing, Trudgen employed a scissor kick instead of the front crawl's flutter kick. Swimming was part of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 in Athens. In 1902 Richmond Cavill introduced the front crawl to the Western world. In 1908, the world swimming association, Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA), was formed. Butterfly was developed in the 1930s and was at first a variant of breaststroke, until it was accepted as a separate style in 1952.
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.
