If ladder is metal, you'll have to go back to no salt pool. :(
YES! Salt water DEFINITELY causes corrosion in your swimming pool. I am a 25 year pool professional and I have seen first hand what salt does to gunite pools. It will eat you pool equipment, stone, concrete, metal, you name it. Keeping your pH neutral will slow down the process of corrosion, but it is still happening, regardless of your water chemistry. Do yourself a favor, DO NOT use salt in your pool.
Ive never heard of them being used before in salt water pools.
Salt water pools are high in free chlorides, which will cause chloride stress corrosion cracking in stainless steel heaters. Copper heaters will react with the salt water and turn the pool green. Im afraid that very noble and very expensive materials are required to heat a salt water pool.
Low quality S. S. ladder. Low pH and Total alkalinity. Aggressive water. k
Add salt
Corrosion cannot be controlled. Pool installer should have used brass sockets, will not corrode. For cost of about $10 less a socket, replacement will cost hundreds to remove pavers, break concrete and reset in brass. Went through the same disaster with my pool
Yes as a mater of fact that is what salt water pool normally is. With a salt water pool there is a electronic salt water chlorinator installed that uses the salt in the water to create chlorine. However if you don't have a salt water chlorinator and prefer the feeling of a salt water pool then there is no reason not to add salt to the pool as well as keeping up the chlorine yourself.
No. salt water is salt water. it already has salt in it
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.
Simply put any pool can be a salt water pool, even an above ground pool.
No you will not have a salt water pool. yes you will have salt water but the actual electronic plates found in a genrator converts the salt in the water to chlorine to sanitize the pool water. A: You have to have the mechanical device to produce the chlorine in a salt pool. THE SALT A MEANS TO PRODUCE CHLORINE FOR YOUR POOL!
stagnet or still water attracts mosquitos weather salt brackish or chlorine Not your pool. A salt water pool IS a chlorinated pool if the system is working properly.
