I am not a pool expert but I have one and keep my tiles sparkling clean though I have never cleaned them. Are you sure it is salt deposit you are seeing? Based on what I heard from pool guys at Leslie's Pool Supply, most of the time when you see a "ring" around the pool it is calcium deposit! Take your water to someone that can test it for solids and not just basic stuff. It is likely you will have to get the stuff you already have by scrubbing it off but I am pretty sure you can keep it clean by keeping your water chemistry in line. Even in salt water pool
Good Luck!

The best way to remove those deposits without damage is Salt Blasting. What is Pool Salt Blasting?
This technique is much like sand blasting, however the air pressure and the media are much different. It uses Kieserite, which is specially formulated for swimming pool tile cleaning. Kieserite is a natural, mined mineral salt (often compared to Epsom) and is shot at low pressure. When the salt hits the surface it pops and this force is what frees the calcium from the pool tile’s surface. The spent media and calcium deposits sink to the base of the pool where it will be vacuumed out. Kieserite is pH neutral, 100% non-hazardous and water soluble. My Company uses this process with almost perfect resaults on pool tile. For moree info check out arizonabeadblasting.com

Flitz is a great product for removing deposits. Check for links and other suggestion in the "Tips for Removing Deposits" section of the following page: http://www.a2dvoices.com/realitycheck/pool/

I worked on this today! You can buy different grades of pumice at the pool supply store. Start with the roughest one and then finish up with the finer grade one. It takes a lot of elbow grease so don't plan on doing it all in one day.

This is a cleaner and they also have a spray to spray on after cleaning that will repel the deposits for a pretty long time.
