After the pool, I rinse like crazy (usually twice) since the pool water eats everything.
OK let's debunk that myth right here......We have been running a five year experiment with one of our class trailers and gear. On board are jacket-style BCD's from Aeris, Sherwood, Sea Soft, Halcyon backplates & wings, aluminum & steel tanks. There are 24 BCD's in total. Also ther are 16 regulator setups, primarily Promate, with some Scubapro units also. Finally, there are a variety of full foot fins, masks, snorkels, weight belts, and hard & soft weights. The equipment is used in nothing but chlorinated pool envirnoments, typically five days a week. Over five years that makes 1,250 pool dives.
The equipment has been rinsed exactly zero times in the past five years.
The BCD's are as black & fresh looking as they were on day 1. Ditto on the reg's, hoses and gauges. Fins and masks show typical loss of silicone flexibility over time, as you would expect from five years of steady use. The only evidence of any effects of chlorine are 'browning' on a few pieces of webbing on the BCD's and backplates - I suspect a difference in the dye process since the rest of the same items are still black. Steel tanks look steel with typical powdery finish on the galvanized, and the aluminum tanks show some minor oxidation where the paint has been damaged.
While I will agree that wetsuit nylon colors will quickly fade with pool use, I cannot agree at all with the comment about "pool water eats everything".
