The Many Ways of Corrosion

Our series on corrosion continues with an explanation of the different types found in pool and spa environments.

Corrosion remains a pervasive problem in the industry. However, understanding how this happens can help pool and spa professionals to diagnose and fix the issues while on the site.

Last month, we had a very basic overview of the physics and chemistry involved in the corrosion process. In this second installment of a three part series on corrosion, we discuss the various forms of corrosion and the mechanism of each.

Once you understand how it happens — the chemistry and physics behind it, and the different types — then you can make some intelligent choices.
