Does anybody have any experience with this refrigerator in a saltwater environment

Yes, I am only three lots from the Chesapeake Bay. Bought this fudge last spring, so it has been less than a year, but somfar it has held up great, even being outside (sheltered ) all winter. And it was a cold winter.

I am based 10 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. This is a cheap Chinese built unit. the "water" pan shows signs of corrosion and the door seal needs constant cleaning. The unit is in a counter, under cover on a lanai within a protected pool cage. It is well protected. see my review on its failure after 14 months.

I live in a humid climate and have not experienced this. My rack is in a utility room which is insulated but which I shut off to save utility costs. I use it 2-3 times a week with damp items. I was very fond of my wooden one which mildewed and. broke down after years of service. This one is performing like a champ.

I bought this refrigerator in May 2013, and had it installed shortly after that. It has been exposed to the high summer heat, lots of rain, potential tornadoes. No problems. I set the thermostat at 38 degrees and have no problems. The only complaint is the lack of handle. I am installing a handle.

I've owned one since june of 2013, I'm on the Ocean every weekend and no less than twice a week. Iv been caught in the rain and had plent of salt water splash on the Standard Horizon unit with no issues. I wouldn't throw it over board and try to use it after but its worked well for me here in Maine.

I honestly do not know. The very small instruction booklet that it came with was not even in English. It has worked great the couple of times I have taken it out. Very loud, but it runs! I just don't know about salt water.. sorry.

Yes, it can be used for salt water, it has sealed bearings. Just rinse it off with fresh water after you use it.

I haven't tried it with salt water, nor at that temperature, Sorry. It appears the internal vanes are plastic so the temperature might be a problem. Salt water shouldn't be a factor as long as it's rinsed with fresh water afterwards. Good luck.

I've used it in saltwater and it's still in good shape - just give it a thorough freshwater rinsing afterwards.

Just make sure you rinse it off when used in either. Have used mine in saltwater multiple times with no problems.

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

I personally wouldn't recommend that as this fridge runs almost non stop in my house. I am concerned about the longevity of the fridge in my house.

I haven't had an issue with my unit chilling. In fact I've had to turn it down. My little refrigerator stays in my garage so it's subject to hot weather in Texas.

I've had a Sea Clone for 12+ years and it still works like the day I bought it. I have had to put a new o-ring in the pump tube where it meets the main unit. it is very quite.

what size is your tank? I have a 300 watt in my 90 gallon saltwater . Temperature set at 78 and it stays at 78. I ran it at 82 degrees when it was cycling

I've had mine for a year in a saltwater tank...no issues. I've even have a snail that keeps the outside of the pump clean without getting hurt. If I had a fish commit fishycide, I would avoid that species in the future. Survival of the fittest/smartest.
