The "ugly white substance" is salt and other minerals that are just part of the natural process of evaporation. Every time a drop of salt water splashes onto an otherwise dry surface, the water evaporates leaving salt and minerals.

AnswerRemember (Alkalinity first)salt or any other sanitizer used for any type of water potentially could have this problem,

The white stuff or Alkalinity salts around the water line is a tell,tell sign that you have an Alkalinity problem which means you have a PH problem which means the chlorine that your generator makes is not doing as good as job as it could.Thus (Alkalinity first)check and correct your alkalinity to be between 80-120 ppm 100 being ideal then correct your PH like a couple of days later never at the same time. to be around 7.4-7.5 is best by the time you do this your chlorine level will be so high you may not be able to swim a couple of days because the chlorine is now active and needs much less to sanitize.

Be very careful with your salt system even though everyone says you need no more chemicals,Well they are wrong or just don't know. Ph and Alkalinity are very important to keep your system carefree and properly sanitized, By the way your alkalinity is most likely so high you can get Pool acid from Brody chemical dilute with water to clean off alkalinity salts and also lower your alkalinity and PH at the same time from then on maintain your alkalinity and PH and you will not get that white build up Brody has two kinds of acid for this Regular pool acid and odorless acid a little more expensive but well worth it.
