It sounds like you are describing efflorescence or a mineral deposit. It would be easier if you send a photo. If it is at the water line it's most likely calcium deposits. If it's at the edge of the pool it's most likely due to water seeping out. (efflorescence)

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.
