the salt dosent break nothing thats a lie its the pool man that dosent know how to work tha system tha rusted comes couse he must not clean tha cells or he dosent add acid

[mentor972]

Is that English?

ALL stone is damaged by water! ANY water, fresh or salt. Anyone ever heard of a little hole some call the Grand Canyon?? Certain stone hold up better than others, regular pool or salt pool. Builders "build" what people want because they make more money off "fancy" stone work. Been in pool business over 20 years, I know what will last and what will not. I steer EVERYONE away from stones that don't hold up but do they listen? NO, they want what they want, or want to look at in this case.

@mentor972 I was sooo baked and was searching for something funny.... haha

[mookies215]

they probably had it switched too high.. a salt system will not destroy a pool.. it saves hundreds of dollars a year as opposed to shocking with chlorine. they are turning salt systems into a scapegoat to account for bad service and ignorance of its users

[nightmareimage]

i think salt water pools is better than chlorine pools cause i would rather fix the pool than have to deal with chemicals in my body...

Wow-your spelling is atrocious

You're right. Brown stain was where a planter sat. The news guys got it wrong. It's impossilbe to control where they point their camera. But I can't believe that you haven't heard of all the problems that salt has brought to our industry. There's new lines of "salt approved" diving boards & rails, "salt resistant" cupro nickel heat exchangers, deck-o-shield "if your deck is too salty", etc, etc, etc. You should read more. Try Winkler's Stone In Architecture. You can read it at Amazon for free.

Let me guess, your chemical sales are way down because you are getting beat up by chlorine-gen companies? Not to mention the industry as a whole chemical sales being down over last few years. Any "properly" maintained pool is just as good as old fashion chlorine pool. The "damage" they are showing is crap and you know it. Uninformed? Ha, my little toe has more years of pool experience than most companies COMBINED. That big brown stain they show in video is salt damage too? OKAAAAAAAYY!!

[thepoolguy11]

Yeah, the Grand Canyon reference is the last refuge of the uninformed. 3500 ppm salt water (used in salt pools) is anywhere from 8 to 80 times the chloride content of the water used to fill the pool. Chloride will damage all stone and metal. The higher the level the more rapid the deterioration. The kind of limestone that both of these women in the video were talking about holds up quite well in non-salt pools, only showing signs of chloride damage after 15 or 20 years. With salt, 1 or 2.
