Your salt is either EXTREMELY high, or your balance of other chemicals are off. A salt pool is only 10% (3,000 ppm) compared to the ocean (30,000 ppm). Many pool "professionals" blame salt for deteriation of pool equipment or furniture outside. If you are getting your testing done by a pool store or from strips...that is likely your issue because those 2 sources are notoriously wrong.

You need to get a TFP test kit and do you own testing at home. It is much more reliable.

Thanks guys. I have not had any problems since the first year or two. That could be the problem. I carry a water sample currently once a month to the local store but it's rare that I have to get anything. Most of the corrosion probably happened early on.
