CAN IT BE USED IN SALTWATER POOL

I do not see why not. If you used it in a regular pool you are dealing with chlorine. Just make sure you rinse the submarine after use. Have fun!

i would imagine so as long as you rinse with fresh water just like any elctronic underwater gear. I use underwater electronics for scuba all the time and rinse with fresh water

Yes, just make sure to clean and rinse it with fresh water to prevent corrosion.

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 imagine it would work in any pool. It's just checking for the chemicals present in the water. Shouldn't matter if it's salt water. You might email the manufacturer. I did a couple of years ago and they answered me right away.

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 don't see why you couldn't use it for saltwater. Should work as it is inert.

YES! I have a salt water pool and it works great. Occasionally, you may want to rinse off any salt which accumulates on the top of the cover with a garden hose just to keep it looking new and clean.

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.

Just make sure you rinse it off when used in either. Have used mine in saltwater multiple times with no problems.

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

Yes I think so. Once you go with salt water in the pool you will not go back.

Hi Linda, sorry I don't have a saltwater pool so I don't know. Possibly checking with Hayward or your local pool company that sells them, they may be able to help you.

Yes, I have used mine in both salt and fresh water. I just rinse it off good after use in salt water! This has been a great trolling motor.

Not without some significant McGyvering. I would recommend you keep using the filters until a part fails or you see the salt water system or sand filter pump on sale somewhere. In the mean time, as long as you clean the pool before putting it away for the winter, the salt water system is much better than harmful chemicals...

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

I am using it in a freshwater set up so I can confirm that the quality is excellent. I do not see why it would not also work well in a saltwater set up with glass.

Yes. I'm not sure about the other reviews. It has worked great for us so far. I use it once a week in a salt water pool. My only complaint is the size of the net pores. Small pieces of grass slip through, but all and all I would by again.

I don't have a salt water pool so I cannot answer your question. My last one ran for 14 years with my chlorine pool.

It should work fine. I use mine with a salt water system on a 9x18 soft sided pool and it really moves the water.
