We also read that if the pool was installed as a salt water pool in lieu of changing to a salt water pool from chlorine some of these issues can be avoided. It seems like this type of corrosion takes about 3 years. We originally wanted to go with salt water so as to avoid harsh chemicals. Any advice would be appreciated.
We have had our salt water for 7 yrs now and love it! Soft on skin, no chemicals, love, love it!
