We have had this pool for 3 years with only minor rusting on one of the corner elbow fittings that the paint was chipped when we received the pool...We truly love the pool and should be swimming again in about 6 weeks

You never said what area of the country you live in, I'm in the houston vicinity so we are in a high atmospheric corrosion area

the saltwater system does not cause it to rust anymore than normal for atmospheric corrosion in your area.. i have some rust on one of the tubes but that was within the 1st 3 months ... i have had it up now for 3+ years and no more rusty areas.. regular chlorine system would cause more corrosion than the saltwater system which is better on you... have had more problems with the generator than anything else...

Yes. After about 6 years some of the tubing had rusted enough to need replacement. Each piece can be purchased online.

I have not had a problem yet. The ladder has been in the pool for 9 months and so far it is good

Definately. I have fished 4 times for multiple days in salt water with no corrosion problems. The graphite body and arbor do not react to salt water. I always thoroughly rinse the reel in fresh water after each trip.resh water after each outing.

Ive had mine for a year now but don't live in a salty area. However I never cover it and have yet to have a problem. If you keep it covered when not in use you shoul be okay. Not all the parts are stainless steel so over time I'm sure they will rust. A helpful hint. Ash of any kind when mixed with water or any moister will cause rust. Cean the inside on a regular bases and lay a little stainless polish on it from time to time and you should be okay.

I have had mine for more than a year, use it at least once daily, and have never had any problems with rust.

We have salt water and no problems yet. It's been in the water about half a year.

Let me qualify my answer by saying that we live 1/2 block from the ocean and everything rusts quickly here. Ours was up year round and after four years the top rail was rusting out. The salt-water, chlorine-generator pumps lasted less than two years each running every day. The pattern faded in the liner but it was still OK. We replaced the pool last year with a solid-walled pool with resin rails and verticals.

I haven't experience it so far but I can only see that happening if they are letting the water sit. It is rare went stainless steel rust. Its a beautiful sink and worth the money.

I had mine through a Missouri winter Lots of salt. The inside doesn't seen to rust and I've even sprayed mine out periodically with water. However the site where the hanger is welded on the outside will rust within a month or so. So try to have it done near the top or rear where you can't see it

I soak mine frequently and have even run it through the dishwasher a few times. It has never rusted, but it has discolored slightly.

I have never had a problem with rusting. I use my water boiler daily. I've never had to deal with customer service.

I have had no problem with rusting, just be sure to care for it properly after each use.

Absolutely none and my service for 16 is in daily use. I'm sure I have over exposed it to water on occassion -- but no rust. Love it.

I just got mine in August, and I'm directly on the beach. So far it's holding up, with no signs of rust.

Yes. Absolutely. You will need to rinse it off with fresh water. As you know salt water will corrode it if it is not cleaned after each use. MarineHQ

I've encountered no rust problems as yet. I've had mine for several months and it's been under the patio the entire time.

No, I've never had any problems. After use, I hold the metal part and wash with soap and water, dry.
