Is this safe to use with an inline saltwater chlorine generator (swcg)?

I do not have a definitive answer, but would think it is OK. If you are really concerned about the SWCG , run the pump without the SWCG while treating. This is for Black algae, and for that I found that just adding to the pool is not enough. My process is scrape the infected area with a wire brush, followed by scraping with a chlorine tablet, then squirting area with the algaetrine by putting in a mustard squirt bottle. I'm in mask and snorkel and wearing rubber gloves, quite the sight. I only use the algaetrine when the black algae is really bad, just the brush and tablet. Also once used on black algae don't use the brush for other parts of the pool, you can spread the algae. Also be aware that the copper will clear the black and other algae very well but it can stain the pool in the process so use sparingly.

We have a salt water pool and have had no problems at all! However one of our neighbors ended up getting some special screws-I believe they were some form of acrylic. They have a chlorine pool. I hope this helps. Tiffany

I have used this in both salt water and chlorinated water. I just rinse it with fresh water when done and fully extend it without locking any sections to let it dry.

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.

This pump would work well with your pool but it is simply a pump. It is not a chlorine generator so you would either need to continue to use chlorine or switch to a saltwater system. In either event you will still use testing strips.

Well , i used mine on a freshwater tank ... I don't know about saltwater . Sorry i can't help .... But in general , this wavemaker is strong and good for big aquariums

Yes, there would be no issue with using it with a salt water pool. The only thing would be that you would need to use a Scalewatcher 5 star unit due to the fact that it is outside. You cannot use the 3 star for outdoor use.

Salt water will corrode the components as stated in the manual. I havent tried

sorry. Amazon is not to together. it was not enough watts for my solar generator. I sent it back. salt water will ruin it. make sure the it's enough watts for what your using it for. water , waves trashing it will cause it to probely short out and ruin it. use a panel and make sure the electrical connections are water proof.

The chlorine you add burns off anyways so there is no issue of using the generator. I startedmid season a couple years ago and love the thing. mmy only other suggestion is to make sure you get the salt level right at 3000 parts per million don't go higher than that or it will taste salty. make sure you know how many gallons are in the pool and then go to a pool supply place and have them do the calculations for how much salt you'll need

I too have a saltwater system. There are no exposed metal parts, everything is encased in an ABS enclosure and the moving parts, except for the shaft, are not metal. The chances of scaling with the circulator look to be the same as with any other type of return fitting. I have only had the circulator install for about two months, but so far the saltwater pool has had no adverse effects on the circulator system. I have three units installed and all work as advertised.

Yes I would. It reads the salt amount and the brand name of the generator should be insignificant. I still find mine reliable and comparable with the salt readings my pool store gets.

I'm not sure, but it is a quality Stainless unit. I would have no problem using it in salt water.

Perfectly safe. You however would use different filters dependent upon the type of water and depth you are diving. I have only used the SWCY filter for shallow tropical water.

Not to my knowledge in a true salt pool, only in a SWG pool. They provide great reading for everything other than salt in your pool. Funny, that you asked since I'm converting to a SWG in Spring 2015 and was wondering the same thing myself. Personally, a SWG is the same as a Chlorine chemical additive pool, just does it different, so readings should be the same using these. Only thing missing is Salt Content which I plan on using a separate test for. It covers all the areas beside lets us see the CYA level, Cyanuric Acid - Conditioner, or Stabilizer, is since... SWG pools generate only chlorine. Hope this helped. Not to my knowledge in a true salt pool, only in a SWG pool. They provide great reading for everything other than salt in your pool.

That is exactly what I did, and it works just fine. I spoke with an employee at the pool store and he said there should be some chlorine in the pool. The system will maintain levels. So far I have been quite happy with system. Make sure you buy a water conditioner, so calcium doesn't build up so fast on the salt cell.
