will it corrode in a salt water pool?

I haven't had any corrosion from my salt water pool. However, I do rinse the aquabot regularly & take it out of the pool when not in use.

I do not have a salt water pool; however, my girlfriend does have an in ground salt water pool and uses this device daily. She has had it for quite a number of years and has never had an issue with it. It is only in the pool when cleaning. When it comes out, she cleans it thoroughly and rinses it out. Then it's ready for the next clean up. Hope this answered your question. This Aquabot is awesome!!!!! Put it on and let it work.

I would not think so but would contact the factory. We use Bacquacil & our 1st unit lasted over 15 yeaes with just belt replacements.

Hi, this is Steve at aqua Products. Our units work well in salt water pools but like standard chlorine pools, it's best if you do not leave them in longer than necessary - a good fresh water rinse is always welcome too.

my guess is a pool with chlorine will not make it rust, but I'm not 100% sure. salt water pool maybe, but a chlorine pool isn't a salt water pool.

I think salt water will eventually corrode any metal shovel; however, this shovel is so compact (ideal for metal detecting), very robust and sturdy. My guess is it will last years before it needs to be replaced. Besides perhaps your husband will find some treasure long before the shovel rusts out, and you both will be living on a tropical island in the Caribbean. Be sure to take the shove with you!

Yes. Absolutely. You will need to rinse it off with fresh water. As you know salt water will corrode it if it is not cleaned after each use.MarineHQ

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.

Zodiac should speak to materials compatibility, but I have had no problems, and I have a saltwater pool. It is the quiet version of PB4-60 which was originally installed with my pool. It is very quiet. I have not seen any corrosion or deterioration externally.

I think they would perform fine in that situation. Just keep an eye out for corrosion. Salt water can corrode things that you wouldn't believe it could.

This heater is made for all pool types. The salinity levels in salt water pools is very low (3600ppm-3900ppm) and will not harm the stainless steel heat exchanger. Just be sure you follow the directions and install the salt cell AFTER the heater, so super chlorinated water will not flow thru the heater. Above all else, be sure to balance your water. Out of balance water will cause damage to any heater and any pool surface, and make all your equipment work harder and lower it's life span.

Yes, as far as I can tell. I've owned for about 8 months and haven't noticed any corrosion in the pump parts. It's still creating soap foam just like the day it arrived.

I've used it this pool season in a salt water pool and it's yet to pit or rust as of yet.

i usually use chlorine tabs in a floating dispenser. I don't know anything about salt water pools.

Yes, we have it installed in a salt water pool. The sensor tip is sealed in plastic.

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

Haven't used it in salt water, it is painted metal. Might want to look for something PVC. I've seen something that is clear as well.

I really don't know. I think it should run fine in salt water but unless you clean it VERY GOOD I would expect it to corrode very quickly making it useless. I I reeally don't know how you might clean it sufficiently.

Yes, it can be used for salt water, it has sealed bearings. Just rinse it off with fresh water after you use it.
