Stainless steel furniture can be used near chlorine and saltwater, but it is always recommended that the steel be electropolished for these applications. Even with this additional finishing process, you can expect additional maintenance to preserve the life of stainless steel products in general.
Chlorine and salt are hard on stainless steel because chlorides attack the thin, chromium-rich passive layer that protects the metal from corrosion, which can lead to surface rust, pitting, and brownish "tea staining" around pools, spas, and coastal homes. Electropolishing helps by removing a microscopic layer of surface metal, leaving a smoother finish that resists corrosion better and gives salt and chemicals fewer places to collect. To care for stainless steel furniture near a pool, rinse it regularly with fresh water, clean it with mild soap and a soft cloth, dry it thoroughly, and avoid abrasive pads or steel wool, which can scratch the finish and leave behind iron particles that rust.
