are these parts good for salt water

wash them off in freshwater and wipe them dry as much as possible and they are fine for saltwater.
1265836
oh yes. like all guides regardless its best to rinse off with fresh water after each use. Have many surf rods ive used for 10 years or better, None show corrosion since I totally rinse each after using in salt water
1265837
Yes, but wash your rod after each salt water fishing trip to give these longer life.

They are fine for light saltwater fishing and will hold up to the saltwater (IF) you clean them off when you are done. Saltwater will cause corrosion on just about any metal. It is wise to clean even the finest of saltwater gear.

I have this installed for my fresh water wash down option on my 21' Seapro...It worked in a Salt Water environment all last season but I don't know about its actual use for saltwater.

No. I used mine on my boat and the accessory has some corrosion after one year on the salt water.

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.

Salt water and carbon steel is a bad combination. Stainless steel would serve you better in a salt water environment.

I know nothing about salt water - but I have a 55 gal fresh water setup with a home made undergravel filter - just PVC pipes and the Cobalt Power head. It's been running for a few months now and I have not done anything with the tank or water and it's perfectly clear and the fish seem to be happy. So it works great for my setup.

Why certainly it can be operated in salt water as well as brackish water. Be prepared for earlier motor failure as well as other water contacted part failure. It is not specificly designed to operate in salt, but will operate in water no less. They do leak and water does get inside, then the corrosion will begin.

Not without some significant McGyvering. I would recommend you keep using the filters until a part fails or you see the salt water system or sand filter pump on sale somewhere. In the mean time, as long as you clean the pool before putting it away for the winter, the salt water system is much better than harmful chemicals...

yes the salt water pump should be in the kit. if it comes with the paper filter I highly recommend getting the bigger pump with the sand filter.

Yes, it should do a good job. However, I don't know if it is resistant to salt water corrosion. You might want to clean it off and dry it before you put it back in storage.

Probably. I only ran mine in a freshwater lake, however. Not sure how saltwater may affect the motor or other mechanism.

It could be, you will need to change your reel. This reel is not for salt water use.

Hi Linda, sorry I don't have a saltwater pool so I don't know. Possibly checking with Hayward or your local pool company that sells them, they may be able to help you.

I use mine strictly for freshwater, probably could be used for saltwater but I would not recommend it.

I am not using it for salt water. I don,t think in respect at the way it is built that it would perform well for a long time in salt water. But for my use it is a very good reel.

If you don't live on the coast near salt water you would probably be ok, just keep a eye on it, if you start to see any signs of rust, keep it in.

You don't want to use hang on back filtration for a salt water system. .. do research before you set up a saltwater system they are very expensive and you will kill everything if not set up properly. .. get a protein skimmer not a filter like this
