Its not to bad, more work than it should be. Ive been using a bucket and a hose, emptying after a couple of minutes and starting the process over

Hello, this machine can be used in salt water, rinse with water when washing it

You can either get the clamp on hose cups to go over the water intake holes and run it with the hose on full blast or run it in a small barrel of fresh water.

I bought this for my husband, he said you may use it in saltwater as long as you flush it out with fresh water after each use.

This is how i do mine, take out hte plug at top lean over and pour out about 5 cups of water now be careful dont pour out the resein water varies but about 5 cups lean back up take a small funnel and 2 pounds of table salt slowly pour salt into the plug hole where the water came out you might have to use a small stick or what ever to push it all into the water softner when 2 pounds are in there wash the plug hole replace the plug also you might want to use a syeel plug and thread tape factory plug is junk now add some water back into the softner make sure discharge hole is closed then let it sit for 10 minutes then let if flush through the small hole for 20 minutes then its ready to use becareful when leaning over to pourout some water resein will come out if you lean to far and resein is $80 + or _ god speed

Add some water then cycle the power on the saltron. Repeat until its in normal range. It worked for me.

I'm not sure but I believe if you lower the motor manually that will force all the old hydraulic oil out of the cylinder and you will achieve your goal. I didn't worry about flushing mine it was near the water and so I was happy to just repair it, mine works great.

A fresh water rinse should do just fine. Rinse every 3 days if using in saltwater

Don't bother. Scoop it out, wipe it down with some paper towels, get as clean as practical. I used some Orange cleaner on the paper towel around some of the gear housing, but that was it. It isn't contaminated like having dust filings when a bearing goes. I scooped the grease into a container so I knew how much to put back in and used a similar amount.

Wash it it warm water then let it dry completely. Make sure you do the same to the dashboard.

I have added salt to my foot bath before with no clogging problems although I will say that when I empty it out I give it a few extra rinse outs because it has had salt in it. Salt can be hard on the motor if not cleaned well after use.

1. Make sure you are getting spark. If not correct problem. (I found a large mud-dabbers nest under my re-coil cover.) 2. If you are getting spark, you might have bad fuel. If your using older fuel with ethanol, it might have water in it. I started to use marine fuel in all my yard equipment, generators, etc. to avoid this problem. It is more expensive, but the results are worth it. I hope this is helpful.

Just drop it in. It only needs to be cleaned and re-oiled after 50,000 miles of normal driving conditions, i.e., not dusty.

K&N; makes a kit that has 1 bottle of "soap" and another bottle of the "oil". You spray on the cleaning solution, wait 10 - 15 minutes and then rinse it completely with a water hose. Let the filter dry "completely"!!! Then, use the bottle of "oil" that comes in the kit to re-oil the filter. K&N; recommends that this procedure be done every 50,000 miles or so. Hope that this helps!

White vinegar, but there should be instructions how to do this. I would go to the manufacturer's site and see if the directions are posted there. Salt will just add more hard water build-up.

If you just run the pump believe you can, look at the owners manual -should be on line. If you run the whole system - a low salt warning will appear on the control panel,

Yes Follow instructions Make sure you flush the coolant system Those 3.0 yota motors are always doing that

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.

I have taken the metal screen off to clear the impeller, almost all of the exposed parts are plastic, it should work with salt water, I would just have it pump out a couple pails of tab water after. I have been impressed with battery life.
