I have lot of salt deposit on our ceramic swimming pool tiles. How to clean? Is there a solution or chemical?
Sep 15, 2007 by fairtoall | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I am not a pool expert but I have one and keep my tiles sparkling clean though I have never cleaned them. Are you sure it is salt deposit you are seeing? Based on what I heard from pool guys at Leslie's Pool Supply, most of the time when you see a "ring" around the pool it is calcium deposit! Take your water to someone that can test it for solids and not just basic stuff. It is likely you will have to get the stuff you already have by scrubbing it off but I am pretty sure you can keep it clean by keeping your water chemistry in line. Even in salt water pool
Good Luck!

This is a cleaner and they also have a spray to spray on after cleaning that will repel the deposits for a pretty long time.

I worked on this today! You can buy different grades of pumice at the pool supply store. Start with the roughest one and then finish up with the finer grade one. It takes a lot of elbow grease so don't plan on doing it all in one day.

Applying ceramic tile to pool walls.?

We are thinking about covering our inground pool walls with ceramic tiles. Do you have to use a special mortar since it will be under water and exposed to chlorine & other chemicals?
You should use an epoxy mortar, as well as a bonding agent for the tile before grouting.

The tile is already in my house. I am worried about AFTER I'm in the pool and we re-enter the house..We might be dripping some water on the floor INSIDE the house. The entire is tiled 100% with Porcelain Ceramic tiles...
No the chlorine won't hurt the tiles in your home. However, if you have any metals present in the water this could cause discoloration or if your water is corrosive (out of balance) then it could leech calcium from them or the grout.
If your water is in balance and there is no metals then there is no harm. If you really want to make sure they don't get harmed then use tile seal on them or construct a drying station outside the door to ensure no water gets brought in.
