Can this be used with saltwater pools?

I am not sure, as my pool is a chlorinated pool. I am going to change my pool to salt nest spring, so I would like to know myself.

I dont know. I think you should be searching for saltwater pool winterizing kit

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

Yes it will work just great, I am using it on a 19ft x 9ft x 54in pool with a salt water filter, they are compatible. I checked with the manufacturer.

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

Yes. These can be used in saltwater pools, for a consistent reading on cyanuric acid, the ph and total alkalinity must be within range though

I'm not sure how it is in salt water. What I can tell you is that you have to have a very deep tank and that the motor is prone to failing and leaking everywhere! I would not recommend this product or this brand. The company is not helpful at all.

You could use it for saltwater but the lighting may not be proper for what you plan on putting in the tank. It may not be suitable for corals or live rock.

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.

It can be used in salt water but does do a very good job of cleaning and a pain to get in and out of pool. Went back to Polaris within two months

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

Probably. I only ran mine in a freshwater lake, however. Not sure how saltwater may affect the motor or other mechanism.

I hope so . I'm converting my pool to salt water this year.................i'm thinking if you rinsed it with clear water it will be fine. let me know how u make out.. norm2428@comcast.net

If you are asking about using it in a saltwater aquarium, I would not recommend it. I bought for my saltwater tank and realized it has metal parts. I ended up finding a completely pvc flapper valve to use instead.

I think you would be fine using this product with salt water pools that use the salt for chlorine generation. The product is mostly baking soda with water clarifier added in. The product does 3 things: increases pH, increases Alkalinity and adds clarifier to your pool water. I use this product with my outdoor pool which holds about 28,000 gallon and have been very happy with it. I add about 1 tablet of this per 4 tablets of 3 inch chlorine tablets that I put into my chlorinator. If you monitor your pool chemistry you could also periodically just add a tablet(s) when your pH and Alkalinity levels get low in your pool. You could also buy Arm & Hammer baking soda for Alkalinity adjustment with a separate pool water clarifier product and use them as directed to achieve the same end result.

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.

I don't see why you couldn't use it for saltwater. Should work as it is inert. I'm not a saltie- expert though, mind you. There are some substrates out there that will buffer the water better for saltwater. Saltwater requires a higher pH and a higher GH/KH. Using an inert substrate won't hurt your fish or alter the chemistry of the water- but won't provide any buffering for pH swings etc. As fish "pee" and "life-happens" the pH of the water will change slightly between water changes. You will usually be better off for saltwater with a buffered substrate... but this wouldn't be bad.

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.
