Salt electrolysis technology is very popular in residential pools, with over half of all new in-ground pools being equipped with this system.

Having a saltwater pool has many advantages over traditional chlorine pools: they are easier to maintain, resulting in cleaner, clearer water without the use of harsh chemicals, which also reduces the risk of contamination.

However, exposure to a saline environment can damage stainless steel equipment, such as ladders or handrails.

This damage can be visible through rust and corrosion.

Traditional stainless steel solutions: Stainless steel is corrosion resistant, but it is not corrosion proof.

Once oxidised, stainless steel will corrode, but at a much slower rate than other metals.

Currently available solutions on the market are ladders made of: AISI 304L (also known as A2): contains a high percentage by weight of nickel and chromium.

AISI 316L (also known as A4): contains molybdenum.

Molybdenum is chlorine resistant, making it suitable for areas exposed to harsh chemicals, salted roads or coastal environments.

This stainless steel is also a good solution for pools with salt electrolysis, but it requires more maintenance than other materials if the water conditions are not ideal.

more resistant to corrosion, but cannot entirely prevent it.

Our innovative technology: AstralPool presents the latest solution for saltwater pools: Ladders with Plascoat® Technology.

These ladders are made with a highly resistant coating that is commonly used in the most extreme environments.

AstralPool is a pioneer in the use of this technology in swimming pools.

Our R&D department carried out a study where it tested the different stainless steel solutions under extreme conditions.

Although all showed signs of corrosion, the AstralPool ladder with Plascoat® technology remained intact.

Plascoat® Technology: With almost 30 years of proven performance, Plascoat® is a thermoplastic powder technology with the versatility to work across a wide range of applications and processing techniques.

We use it as a durable coating, providing long-term anti-corrosion protection for metals against the most demanding environments.

Key Benefits: • Long service life: Plascoat® provides long-lasting products with superior resistance to salt, sea, sand and sun.

• Very economical: no primer required and low maintenance during the product's lifetime.

• Reliable and safe: easy-to-clean surface with a warm-to-the-touch effect.

• Universal and versatile.

Ladders with Plascoat® Technology Key Features: Made of AISI 304L + special ultra-resistant Plascoat® coating that offers additional protection against corrosion.

The special design of the non-slip steps ensures safety.
