can these be used in saltwater application?

I'm not sure, but it is a quality Stainless unit. I would have no problem using it in salt water.

I am sure it could, but not sure how long it may last. The materials may not withstand the salt, and the movement of the parts would probably get messed up with deposits that would form on them.

Hi Pat, they are SS and they work well in salt water. I use them only in the ocean and no issues. I recommend them.

I`m using mine in saltwater and it seems to be working well. Of course I clean it with fresh water after each use.

I dont have any saltwater tank none the less you can use it with salt water with no problem whatsoever.

Yes you can, they're water proff up to 15m, I have used them when I use my seadoos.

These tabs should work as a salt-water pool generates chlorine by breaking down sodium chloride into chlorine. You still need to measure PH, Alkalinity, etc. so I don't see why these would not do just fine.

Yes, I would never use this in saltwater, also I would not use it for anything bigger than Bluegill or Sunfish if you want it to last, its just not a quality piece.

The product is simply chrome plated brass, so as long as it is fresh water, I'd say certainly. I use these on my RO/DI water filtration units with no problems. If on the other hand you were using this for saltwater applications youd want to go with a stainless steel product such as this: http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Mini-Ball-Valve/dp/B00H9KEVWC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1411783840&sr=8-3&keywords=stainless+steel+mini+ball+valve

I do not know. My pool is not a salt water pool. The item in question is very nice and worked well.

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.

I do not see any reason why it would not work with saltwater due to no bearings to worry about and everything s plated or painted. All in all its a great unit to have. I liked it so well i now have 2 of them. One on each end of the boat.

I haven't tried, but I assume no. They have batteries in them and would no longer work if you submersed them I would guess.

Yes, if they have not been damaged in any way or come in contact with any salt water they can hydrate again. They will hydrate less a little each time but will still work.

It can but the one for salt water has different seal that can handle the salt if you rinse it aff after use in salt water it would be ok

I would say no. The material that they are made of wouldn't do well in water.

I have only used it in freshwater, but don't see why it wouldn't work in saltwater. There is only a small bit of metal shaft that holds the propellers, and if rust is a concern than rinse it off after use. It will get wet inside during use, so have paper towel inside to absorb.

I bought these for use in south Fla salt water. They're stainless with plastic grips. They seem rust-free, but it's only been a few months. Rinse with fresh water if you can to prevent surface pitting. Line cutting is no problem. They might be a little short for removing swallowed hooks on larger fish. Tip of pliers is notched for split ring manipulation, but teeth further along will grab hooks. Nice lanyard. Good luck. Hope this post is not too late.
