Do salt water pools cause excessive corrosion to pool equipment and cause damage to plaster pools?
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.
Do salt water pools require anode rods to prevent corrosion of metal pool parts?

Does a salt water pool system absolutely require a titanium heater?
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.
What would cause the ladder to be totally rusted out on a salt water pool that is less than 2 years old?
Low quality S. S. ladder. Low pH and Total alkalinity. Aggressive water. k
Can salt evaporate with pool water?
Yes, salt can evaporate with pool water. As pool water evaporates, the salt content remains in the pool. When the water evaporates, the salt will be left behind and may accumulate in the pool. Regular testing and monitoring of the pool water chemistry is important to maintain the proper salt levels.
Why do you have rust coming from your pool lights?
Rust coming from pool lights typically indicates corrosion of the metal components, often due to exposure to water and chemicals in the pool. This corrosion can occur if the light fixtures are not properly sealed or if they're made from materials that are not resistant to pool environments. Additionally, if the pool water has high levels of salt or chlorine, it can accelerate the rusting process. Regular maintenance and using corrosion-resistant materials can help mitigate this issue.
How do you convert a fresh water pool to a salt water pool?
Add salt
You have an inground pool using a salt generator system and having a stainless steel ladder with aluminum sockets in the concrete deck What can you do to control galvanic corrosion?
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
Can you convert a painted pool into a salt water 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!
Does a salt water pool or a chlorinated pool attract more mosquitoes?
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.
