View Full Version : SWCG for vinyl lined pool with steel walls?

I have a vinyl lined pool constructed using 3' steel panels behind the liner and concrete under the bottom. Is it OK to use a SWCG system with this type of pool or is the risk of corrosion too great?

What about the heater? I have a Hayward 300K BTU propane fired heater about 5 years old. Are these OK with the salt?

Thanks for the help.

Steve, welcome to The Forum!

SWCGs are fine with IG liner pools and all the normal pool systems :)

Get the model, and call Hayward, and ask. (888-HAYWARD). Or not. You're past warranty, and the salt will slightly increase corrosion of a plain copper heat exchanger, but not dramatically.
