Salt Water Conversion

[Stueys Crew]

Hi, I am very new to this forum!

I just purchased a 3 year old freshwater pool. In excellent condition with No corrosion.

Is it OK to ust salt water? The pool came with a new salt chlorinator..

All of the underground bracing galvanised steel

The uprights and capping is painted steel...

Will corrosion be a problem?

What can I do to avoud corrosion?

Thanks heaps,

Stuart

I bought a round above ground pool last spring and installed a salt chlorine generator to it and put a small bucket of stabilizer in it and it stayed clear for me all summer. I drained it 3/4 full and put a innertube in the middle and hung a small bucket of chorine tabs and covered it. I just opened it and the water was clear and there are very small signs of rust. I have a metal top with metal columns but the corner tops are plastic with metal underneath. The rust spots seem to be around the bolts and screws on top and bottom. I did dig a small trench around the pool so the metal base wouldn't be sitting in puddles either from splashing or the rain. I used it one summer and figured it paid for itself, so this summer should be free to keep it clear, minus a little more stabilizer.
