Why is the water salty? Or do you just mean the chemicals that keep the PH and chlorine levels correct?
When our kids were school age we had an above ground pool. The kids really enjoyed it until they got driver"s licenses, and then it was rarely used. So when the filter assembly broke and I found that no parts were available for it, I tore down the pool, dumping the water on my lawn. I gave the dismantled pool to my cousin, who had younger kids.
Our pool was at least 10 years old, and it was given to me by a neighbor who was getting divorced and had to get it away from her rented house. It was a Doughboy, with a metal framework and metal wall, and a vinyl liner. The metal parts of the pool reminded me of a huge tuna fish can with both top and bottom lids removed. When I took it apart, I found very little rust and no rust on the framework or wall metal. That impressed me since the pool sat outside in the sun and weather all those years without any particular care for the finish.
Maybe you should get a higher quality pool as your replacement, and it might last longer. And I wonder about the salt...could that have something to do with the corrosion problem?
If your water has much salt or other chemicals in it, it might be useful to kill some weeds, or to keep weeds from growing in gravel. But if it is just normal pool water, with a little chlorine in it, I would just use it to do normal watering, possibly after letting the chlorine level get pretty low. My pool water didn"t seem to hurt my lawn at all.
Or like one poster suggested, set up your new pool near the old one and transfer the old water to the new pool. I guess it would depend on how expensive water in your area is, and how hard you want to work. Good luck with your new pool!

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day.
