The Boreal pool is manufactured with mainly steel components, so it is not warrantied for saltwater use. Saltwater is very easy to maintain, but it can be corrosive to steel pool components, so you will need a pool specifically designed for saltwater use.
If you like the Boreal, we recommend the Saltwater Edge as the comparable saltwater-compatible model. The two pools share a very similar design, but the Saltwater Edge features resin top ledges, tracks, and joiners, in place of the Boreal's steel components.
