Is the tub metal or plastic ? Mainly going to use it for salt, and was thinking in the long run a plastic tub would be better, any info is appreciated

It's a plastic tub. I use it for seed and pull it behind my lawn mower and have had no problems with it at all.

Metal. Works really well, I like it. l do as they suggest and put hot water in it for a few minutes, pour it out, the put in the stuff i want to keep hot. Having the insides hot already keeps the stuff hot longer. The outside also heats up fast if you run hot water over it.

Plastic and it worked great for about 5 years. Recently I used it to mix sausage balls and it broke. Probably a combination of age and a really thick mixture.

it's hard plastic, and has not cracked yet. I am cautious when i place it in the tub for cleaning, and when vacuuming around it. as long as it arrives intact, you should be good to go.

I have not used it in saltwater. I think it is aluminum and plastic. I personally would want something beefier for saltwater. I think a little salt might gum it up. Hopefully someone will weigh in with first hand knowledge. It is a good product for its price point. Fly shop folks do not recommend it for saltwater.

The container is glass and the twisting top appears to be plastic. Now it's called a ceramic fine mill, so I believe the top cover includes the ceramic mechanism which grinds the salt. I use it for milling unaltered, unbleached salt and I'm very satisfied. You might want to check with the manufacturer if you want to be absolutely certain. I hope that helps.

I have the inflatable ring so no pool rust. I had to get a new pool last year because of storm damage and i did notice that ladder had more rust than the previous one. Can't say it was the saltwater because it was the outside screws. Parts that go in the pool are plastic. Frame of the ladder that is metal is good to go.

hi! I have this device and I haven't worried about the plastic components because the water moves very quickly through the system, until it fully drains. As far as I can tell it never sits in the device or in the tubing so leaching from the plastic doesn't seem to be a concern.. hope that helps!

its plastic, wont corrode or rust, but....I jave never used mine, as kost outside faucets are only a foot off the ground which makes the hose holder way too close to the ground to be able to use it! I was disapointed with purchase.

I am not sure how well the metal will hold up to salt as corosion may be an issue. I believe they make a plastic case and it may well work better.

The tub faucet on the one I bought is metal. The only plastic parts that I can tell (by tapping on it with finger nail and hearing the pitch of the pinging sound) are the shower head, the back plate for the faucet handle. Maybe the small stick that you pull on the tub faucet to move water to shower and maybe the small ring/plate that covers the hole where the shower pipe comes out of the wall.

It is a hard white plastic. I've had it for a year and a half and the tub shows no signs of wear and tear yet.

It is metal inside too....not plastic. Mine is discolored a bit because of hard well water.

The base is plastic. Thick and durable. One of the best salt shakers I've had. The pour spout is so nice instead of having to take off the top.

Yes you can. The tub is plastic and the spreader mechanism is metal so it can rust if left in for long periods. I use it to spread salt, fertilizer, lime, sand, and seed. Fertilizer and salt are the most corrosive and I rinse the inside when finished for the season and give it a light coat of WD40 and have had no issues. Make sure the salt is dry or it will clump up and not spread. You might not want to start with a full load at first and see how it does before filling it all the way up. I did make a brace to mount under the spreader to help sturdy it up and it makes it solid as some materials are pretty heavy when you fill it all the way up. Yes you can.

It was for my Mom. Used in the tub with a telephone shower head. It was GREAT. It did not rust. We had no problems whatsoever. It was the best one and we looked at alot. The sliding seat was wonderful. Good Luck

On the box it says titanium coils to resist corrosion. I would assume this is the part that comes in contact with the water, in which case it would be fine for sea water. The piping that connects to the tubing is plastic.
