What are the effects of saltwater pools on concrete outdoor chairs?
Saltwater pools are a popular alternative to traditional chlorinated pools due to their softer feel and lower chemical maintenance. However, they can have significant effects on concrete outdoor chairs placed poolside. The high salt content in the water can accelerate corrosion, especially if the chairs have metal reinforcements or fixtures. Over time, salt residue can also cause surface erosion, leading to pitting and weakening of the concrete. To mitigate these effects, regular rinsing with fresh water and applying a sealant can help protect the chairs. Choosing salt-resistant materials or coatings during purchase is another proactive measure to ensure durability in saltwater pool environments.
