What's *wrong* with salt?

[estermer]

I heard from a friend that because salt is corrosive, it can damage your coping and deck. Anyone have any experience with that?

Not at the concentrations used with a SWC. It's around 3200 PPM, which is barely detectable by taste.

I to am also happy with salt system pool, don't think the water will hurt the deck but pool builder advised against using the fountain attachment continuously as wind will carry the spray onto deck for extended period and when dry leave salt behind. Then again should just wash off with bit of scrub if I ever have that problem.
