Introduction: Saltwater Popularity is Rising
More South African homeowners are choosing saltwater pools for their gentle feel, lower chlorine levels, and reduced maintenance. But can a fiberglass pool handle it? The answer is a big yes.
Compatibility with Saltwater Systems
Fiberglass’s non-porous gelcoat surface is perfectly suited for saltwater, unlike some materials that corrode or degrade over time.
Lower Maintenance Costs
Saltwater systems reduce the need for traditional chlorine, meaning fewer chemical purchases and less skin and eye irritation.
Avoiding Corrosion on Equipment
The pool itself won’t corrode, but metal fixtures and accessories should be marine-grade or properly coated to handle salt exposure.
Conclusion: Saltwater-Friendly by Design
Fiberglass pools are an excellent match for saltwater systems, giving you comfort, durability, and easier upkeep.
