Can this be used to filter sea or salt water from the ocean to create drinkable water?

To desalinate water, you need a still or a reverse osmosis system, both of which take a lot of energy. The problem with filtering salt, which is dissolved in water (as opposed to being suspended in water like bacteria), is that the holes in your filter must be smaller than the tiny salt molecules (not much bigger than atoms). So a salt filter is not a mesh, it's a membrane and it takes a substantial pressure and energy to push water through those atom sized holes.

The ffilters are micro filters for bacteria and particulars in the water. Salt would not work very well. I feel that it would real break the filters or gum them up

The filters are designed to remove particulate matter and bacteria.They are not designed to desalinize water.

I don't believe so. It is made so that water for washing hands and dishes is not filtered.

Have not read anything that said it was for one type of water or another. Considering how it works I do not see how it could harm your salt environment, but you may want to check with the company who makes these to be on the safe side.

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.

i wouldn't try, sea waters tought to deal with, and if you try and it doesnt work your only dehydrating yourself. i would spend moremoney on a better one if you want to clean sea water

Technically it can. Ideally you should use distilled water. However,I think the change would be minimal.

It can be used in conjunction with an intex filter pump, but that that particular model of salt water module has had a lot of problems. Make sure that you are getting the revised and updated version of that that system.

Sorry. The only thing that I know of that Might work would be to distill the water and try to get rid of the contaminants afterward. The filter system that seems to filter the best, and remove the most hazards is the Berkey filters. Suggest that you research them. I spent days........,,, looking for something thy would remove salt and biochemical contaminants. There is not one that I could find. I was very impressed with the Berkey, and for a lightweight purifier, I really do like the LifeStraw. It will do more than most of the very small filters. Be sure to get this one, and not the green camoflage one that lets 2 micron particles through. That one seems to be mostly for looks. Hope this helps.

You could try it. It's used for drinking water so I assume it could also be used for that.

sorry for the delay, but this unit can not filter out the salt in the salt water. I contacted the manufacturer and they are not looking at this process at this time, do to the expense of what it would take to separate the salt.

Although I have never used it in a salt water application (I use mine to determine how much FRESH water I put in my RV's holding tank) my LIMITED research doesn't show that it can't be used for salt water (sorry about the double negative). One question asked about using the device for HEATED (90°C) salt water, which was recommended against; however, I believe that was a TEMPERATURE recommendation, not a water type recommendation. Like anything else, I think you would need to flush the meter out when your done so the salt doesn't dry inside the system. Good luck!

Yes, is for salt water too. Its come with table for consult the levels in your aquarium

Yes it can but, you will need to pick up an adapter the set up the filter........In my opinion not worth the effort

Yes, I have used it that way. Won't filter as fast as the gravity made kind in my experience, but works none the less.

I have not used it with salt water, but I was on a mission trip and had to drink water from a dirty well. It did filter the sand from the water. Not sure if this helps, but I do love this water bottle and plan to buy more.

Yes. I am using mine with a saltwater setup. We have a sand filter and we just turn the salt generator off while vaccuming the pool.

I think it would be a fine power filter for a saltwater aquarium if that's what you're looking for
