Will this work for saltwater pools? I think I saw it has a copper heat exchanger.

Yes, The new ones have a titanium heat exchanger. I can see some copper in the inside. I replaced my other model with the same one and this one works a lot better. Hope this helped.

I have not received my heat pump yet but I'm told it will work on salt water. The heat exchanger is actually titanium not copper

None of the literature mentions anything about not using with a salt water pool. I actually converted my pool to salt water when I installed the heat pump.

Yes, the outside Scalewatcher 5 would be safe to use with a salt water pool.

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.

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 have a large salt water pool and staypoolizer works perfect. The water feed comes from an outside faucet and remains on all year. I keep the pressure low (I do not turn the faucet handle wide open)

This item can be used for above-ground and in ground. I bought it for my in ground pool and it heat very well. It dose a outstanding job.

yes, saltwater will affect the pool and the included ladder. After only 1 month using a salt generator, the metal parts of the pool and ladder started to rust. I removed the salt generator and started using bleach. Cheap chlorination and no more rust.

I do not have a salt water pool but I can tell you that I've purchased the Mirra not once, but twice and am deeply disappointed with the machine. It simply doesn't last.

Works great in chlorine pool, not sure about salt water, when actually working.

It should fit just fine, as it attaches to the inlet fitting on the pool side, not to the pump directly. Your saltwater pump should do 1600gph, which is enough to power this vac. Make sure you are in pump mode (FP) and not salinating when using it.

Ours is off our dock in a lake and works like a charm - the temp varies so can't see why it wouldn't work perfectly for a pool.

Mine is an in-ground pool. This Hayward cell is specific for my Hayward electrolytic chlorine system. I would doubt if it can be used in your situation. Call the Hayward help line on their website for an answer from a knowledgeable professional.

yes, it will as with any sump pump. My preference to use pumps with Plastic housings with motors above the level of the pit. The brine is corrosive to metals and don't believe the salt will be kind to them.

Yes, we just bought this pool and contracted it to an intex sand filter and saltwater system. We had the sand and salt water system last year and it worked great. We didn't have to use any other chemicals and it stayed clear and clean. Great setup.

I am not sure if this can be used for salt water pool check. I recommend searching for "salt water test strips". I think you would want to check for sodium chloride levels which this product does not check for.

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.

I don't think it can run in salt water. The reason I say this is that it must be in the water for it to start. The water goes through an internal cooling/power system and I don't think salt water would be good for it. I would contact the manufacturer directly to make sure this is true or not.
