Any problems running in a salt water pool with inner parts or components?

Zodiac should speak to materials compatibility, but I have had no problems, and I have a saltwater pool. It is the quiet version of PB4-60 which was originally installed with my pool. It is very quiet. I have not seen any corrosion or deterioration externally.

With mine a salt water pump came with it and it is salt water. Wonderful for not doing much to it, I sold on salt water pools now.

I really don't know. I think it should run fine in salt water but unless you clean it VERY GOOD I would expect it to corrode very quickly making it useless. I I reeally don't know how you might clean it sufficiently.

I have never had that problem. How is your salt level? I find that for my pool size I have to run it an hour longer than suggested each day during the hot summer months here in Texas. I also use the brush very thoroughly while the pump is running at least once a week to make sure I don't get any algae growing on the walls or bottom of the pool.

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.

Hi, this is Steve at Aqua Products. This unit is safe to use in all pool waters including salt. Note: It's a best practice to always remove the unit after each use and rinse it when possible with fresh water. This will help prolong the life of the cleaner

Yes it can. I have a salt water pool and it works just fine. I haven't noticed any corrosion and I've had my SharkVac for about two years now.

Not at all. I've used it at various depths in fresh and salt water (although not beneath 20 feet) but I've never had a problem.

I too have a saltwater system. There are no exposed metal parts, everything is encased in an ABS enclosure and the moving parts, except for the shaft, are not metal. The chances of scaling with the circulator look to be the same as with any other type of return fitting. I have only had the circulator install for about two months, but so far the saltwater pool has had no adverse effects on the circulator system. I have three units installed and all work as advertised.

No problem with saltwater. Just make sure you keep any salt evaporation on the leds to a minimum.

I have a 2150 GPH pump and it works great!...also..the user manual that comes with the saltwater system tells you how much salt to add based on the size of your pool. It shows specific amounts for Intex brand pools, as well as, if you are trying to use it on an non Intex pool. I highly recommend this system, as it keeps the water sparkly clean. I have a small pool and only had to add about 150 lbs of salt..and the salt is about $5 for 40 lbs at my local store. The salt system has a timer that will "chlorinate" your water for a up to 12 hours a day. you can set the time to run for 1 hour..all the way up to 12 hours. My small pool...i have the main filter pump running for 6 hours, and the salt system running for 2...and I have had zero problems with water quality..all I have done is add salt at start up. Word of warning: err to the low side when adding salt...as you can always add a lil more to get the concentration right...if you add to much salt, you may have to partial drain the pool and re-add fresh water to dilute the concentration if its too high. better to have low salt than too much salt. the salt will not evaporate..but the water will in the hot summer months...thus increasing the concentraion slightly. adding a little water from the hose will get the concentration back correct, due to the evaporated water from the sun...but only if you start out with the correct amount and don't totally over salt it. mine called for 160lbs...i added 140, for example...then added a few cups of salt to bring it up a little. the saltwater system has alarms to warn you of : low water flow, high salt, and low salt. You will like it! thumbs up from me :)

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 swim in saline pool and have no problem. I soak in fresh water after each use, per instructions and no issues. Would imagine same would be for ocean swimming.

I have run mine through two consecutive two hour cycles.... No problems... All depends on how much is in your pool I would imagine...

Says right in the product description the housing and impeller are aluminum. I doubt it would handle salt brine for very long.

I have the model and use it in a salt water sea pool. My local pool supply recommended that I use a Teflon base lubricant that makes it easier to open and close. I have also made a wood wrench that fits over the top so I can get a better grip. It is 4 inches longer than the width of the top and notched so the wrench fits over the top. I also change the O-Ring gasket once each year. Hope this helps.

I would recommend a better pool pump and sand filter. The system my not be moving the water around enough for the salt water system which will cause it to fail.
