Is this for salt water use?

Yes. Suitable for all applications.You get salt water in them from roads in the North!!!

I use it in salt water. You should rinse w fresh water after exposure. I'm on my second one. First lasted 3 years. Longest of any I've had. I recommend it.

Yes; it has a nicely applied protective coating similar to hot-dipped zinc galvanization. There are no bearings in the wheels to freeze up and the wheels themselves are heavy duty plastic, so they don't corrode. Since it folds up out of the way when not in use, it might not even get wet when you launch. My boat is only used in salt water, and this jack is holding up very well with only a quick fresh water rinse after each use.

I have been using mine for a year now in salt water here in south florida. It has held up very nicely thus far.

Yes, there would be no issue with using it with a salt water pool. The only thing would be that you would need to use a Scalewatcher 5 star unit due to the fact that it is outside. You cannot use the 3 star for outdoor use.

I can't see any reason why it wouldn't be safe to use in salt water. It is a totally sealed unit. I am running mine in a tank with anti-freeze in it.If you know anything about anti-freeze and plastics, it tends to get thru any low quality seal. I have had no problems in that area. Tank seals leak, but not the pump.Hope this helps.

I don't think you'd have any issues with using this on salt water in regards to if the material could handle salt. However, I would NEVER take it out into the ocean or any place with excessive waves, swells, drifts or any turbulence. It has nearly no steering, especially without the skeg. We use it on some rough lake water occasionally but its a workout to get it moving. I would not recommend taking it out into the ocean unless you want to get lost at sea.

No it can not be used in salt water, it works excellent but if you bow mount it you have to turn the control head around on the shaft this info is not in the instruction they asume you are useing it on the transum of the boat.

Yes. This reel can be used in fresh water or salt, I have had no problems with this reel, just keep in mind that if you use it in salt water make sure to use fresh water to rince it off, it will last a life time.

We have used ours in saltwater, but don't forget to give it a good rinse afterwards!

I don't see why you couldn't use it for saltwater. Should work as it is inert. I'm not a saltie- expert though, mind you.There are some substrates out there that will buffer the water better for saltwater. Saltwater requires a higher pH and a higher GH/KH. Using an inert substrate won't hurt your fish or alter the chemistry of the water- but won't provide any buffering for pH swings etc. As fish "pee" and "life-happens" the pH of the water will change slightly between water changes. You will usually be better off for saltwater with a buffered substrate... but this wouldn't be bad. I don't see why you couldn't use it for saltwater. Should work as it is inert.

Yes!! We just put a bag and a half of the salt for water softeners that you can buy at a hardware store. It worked really well. I believe you need to have a special salt-water pump, though, which Intex sells. Trying to use salt water with a normal pump might cause damage.

Hello, this machine can be used in salt water, rinse with water when washing it

It can be used in salt water but does do a very good job of cleaning and a pain to get in and out of pool. Went back to Polaris within two months

I am sorry, I can't help to much with my answer because we've only used it in our pool and it works pretty good, but about salt water I really don't know. Sorry :-/

I would think you could use it with salt water since all internal working parts that the salt water can come into contact with is plastic.

No, it is not. You always should have it in a protected unit. Although mine is out in the air. It is not good to have salt water soaking it from a wave. You get corrosion on power cables.

Yes. We have a salt water pool. We love this thing! It has taken all the worry out of keeping our pool full.

I'm not sure for certain; however, this is an ALL PLASTIC item so the temperature alone would probably damage it. I would think the salt water application would be okay, assuming you flushed it with fresh water after use. I think you're going to need a more expensive "all brass" water meter for your particular application.

it is not recommended for it to be used in salt water as it will corrode quite quickly
