Hi -
Now that we've decided to buy a pool, all of our pool expert friends have come out of the woodwork.
We are looking at the salt water type system.
What we are getting a lot of "advice" on is the material of the pool.
All say don't get Steel, as it will get corroded. Except for my neighbour, he has steel and salt water. He's had it for at least 6 years now and no problems.
The most vocal group says get "extruded aluminum"
The rest look at my like I have 4 heads when I say resin. They say what about the sun (+30C), the cold (-40C), flying pigs, etc.
The pool stores all say resin. I'm just not sure if that means top/bottom rails, and the walls are just coated with something.
Any light/links you could share would be great.
Thanks!
Brad
