We are looking into converting our pool to a saltwater system. However, we have beautiful stonework around the pool deck and I would hate for it to become corroded.
Yes, I will be consulting professionals, but am curious about answers from pool owners on here.

Mrs. Phay! Believe it or not I can actually answer this- my father ran a pool installation company
So if your question is strictly about the stone, yeah obviously the chemicals will wear on it a little over time, but the corrosion is more of a concern IN the pool itself than on the decking. Like tiles and coping (the capping on the shell of the pool) and then on all of your metal. Bluestone, flagstone, and even travertine shouldn't be too affected by the salt and chemicals. Also, rainfall or lack thereof can influence natural wearing. If you live somewhere very dry (AZ, CA, etc.) you won't have the rain naturally rinsing off your surfaces often and will need to take the time to "clean" your pool decking on a regular basis
