The coping around my steps where people tend to sit with wet suits dangling feet in the water is significantly more corroded than the rest of the pool. I noticed that happening since we have switched to salt water a couple years ago.

The other thing that seems to be a problem is corrosion at the ladder. The deck anchors I believe are cast aluminum and the ladder is stainless steel. The saltwater has corroded the deck anchors to the point that I had to use a sledge hammer to remove my ladder last fall.

We just purchased a PVC ladder to replace the SS. That should elininate the corrosion between the dissimilar metals hopefully. I'm not sure what to do about the deck anchors. They are in rough shape anyway but I have no idea how to replace them. I'm am more than a bit hesitent to go at my deck with a hammer and stone chisel.

Has anyone experienced the ladder issue or replaced the deck anchors. I am very open to advice.

Thanks
Dave
