Salt water pools are slightly more corrosive to iron then fresh water pools , however the concentration of salt in them is very small and corrosion is usually not a problem
You should keep im mind however that it would be preferable to use materials that are corrosion resistant in these situations as in time galvanized iron parts will corrode.

What do you put in the pool to eliminate the rust when you fill a 15' x 42 inch pool with city hard water?
AnswerIt's very tough to remove rust stains if they are already established. It sounds like you have an aboveground pool, possibly purchased at Canadian Tire. You can use a sequestering agent (such as Aqua Min-Out) to keep the rust-causing minerals in solution (in the water) so that they don't stain the pool. To remove existing stains, you can try dropping some granular PH Minus (PH Down) into the water so that it settles onto the rust spot or spots. Obviously, this will only work on the bottom of the pool and if the water is still. In addition, ensure that you have your water professional tested to determine the Free Chlorine, pH, Total Alkalinity, Calcium Hardness and Stabilizer levels. Poor water balance can cause problems with the liner, and if the alkalinity is low, any metal parts (in the pump, etc.) will rust. AnswerTry BioGuard's product called Pool Magnet. It is great for removing various metals from the water. Just a little added detail you can also purchase a filter that screws onto the end of your hose so the water is filtered clean of minerals before it even reaches your pool water.

If there is rust in your water supply how would you clean it to fill a small rectangular plastic pool?
Rust in your water is caused by iron in your water supply. You can get a water softner and use the softened water to fill your pool, or you can fill your pool with the rusty water and use a scale and metal out chemical that you could purchase at any local pool dealer. If you choose to purchase the scale and metal out I would recommend taking a sample of your water so that they can test to find out the level of iron in your water. They then could instruct you on how much of the product you should use to clear your water up.
