The Differences between Our Saltwater Pool Models

A saltwater pool is specifically designed and warrantied by the manufacturer to handle saltwater systems. Since saltwater can be highly corrosive to most above ground pools, it’s essential to choose a model built to withstand this environment.

The Pool Factory offers six pool models warrantied for saltwater use: the Saltwater 5000, Saltwater 8000, Saltwater LX, Saltwater Aurora, Saltwater Titan, and the Intrepid.

In contrast, the Saltwater 8000 boasts a sturdier frame with an 8″ wide true curved ledge made from premium injection-molded resin, ideal for pool durability. Additionally, the Saltwater 8000 stands taller at 54″ high, offering enhanced structure and style.

Both swimming pools include a Stainless Steel service panel for exceptional corrosion protection. The Saltwater 8000 features a decorative wall bolt cover, seamlessly hiding the connection between the stainless steel panel and the pool wall. The Saltwater 5000, however, does not include this added feature.

The Saltwater 5000 and Saltwater 8000 are semi inground pools. They are warrantied for semi-inground installation up to halfway (26 inches or 27 inches) in the ground.

Saltwater 8000 vs. Saltwater LX

The Saltwater 8000 and Saltwater LX pools have all the same features. The only difference is the color. The Saltwater LX features resin top ledges and sleek resin top caps in a rich Chocolate hue. The uprights are a mocha metallic color.

Saltwater Aurora Round Pool with Resin Composite Wall

The Saltwater Aurora features an all resin pool frame with resin composite wall technology, bringing above ground pools to an entirely new level. This 100% corrosion resistant resin wall and resin frame will provide longevity and durability unlike any other above ground pool on the market today. The Saltwater Aurora’s exclusive resin composite wall utilizes a multi-layer reinforced polymer design which proves to be stronger than steel or aluminum. The 6″ wide injection-molded resin top ledges resist saltwater, chlorinated water and constant wear. The top & bottom tracks are also injection-molded resin and give the Saltwater Aurora added strength and support.

The Aurora’s innovative Corrosion-Resistant Design offers a lifetime of enjoyment and includes a 360 Worry-Free Manufacturer’s Lifetime Warranty. The Aurora’s warranty also covers semi inground installation up to 27″ in the ground.

Intrepid - Extruded Aluminum Pool With Interlocking Wall

The Intrepid showcases 54" high extruded aluminum interlocking wall panels, delivering exceptional strength and complete corrosion resistance. Its heavy-grade extruded aluminum top ledges, uprights, and tracks provide unmatched support, making it an excellent choice for semi-inground installations. Each aluminum component features a durable powder-coated finish, ensuring a stunning appearance that endures for years. Even in harsh conditions, like saltwater exposure, aluminum's protective oxide layer continues to safeguard it from damage. This makes aluminum a durable, long-lasting material for outdoor use. The Stainless steel hardware also ensures durability against harsh elements.

The Intrepid pool model includes a manufacturer’s lifetime limited warranty and supports saltwater systems. Proudly made in the USA, it can be installed semi-inground or above-ground. Semi-inground installations are warrantied up to 36 inches deep, offering flexibility and reliability.
