will salt water effect the pool

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.

We set our pool up in May, 2014 and it is now July, 2014. We have not had to add any salt. It is my understanding that the "low salt" light will come on if needed. Very happy to say our pool has tested perfect each week and we haven't had to do anything except the usual Regular Filter changes. Absolutely nothing with the saltwater filter!

I am sorry, I can't help to much with my answer because we've only used it in our pool and it works pretty good, but about salt water I really don't know. Sorry :-/

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.

Yes. We have a salt water pool. We love this thing! It has taken all the worry out of keeping our pool full.

Yes and a lot of it, depending on your pool size. When we purchased the Solaxx CLG10A, we had to add several hundred pounds of salt for our above ground pool.

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.

Thanks for your inquiry. To keep the item long life, we do not recommend you use the item in salt water.

Yes, mine came with a salt water sand filter. This filter works great! We have no trouble keeping the water crystal clear! This is an excellent pool!

I haven't tried it with salt water, nor at that temperature, Sorry. It appears the internal vanes are plastic so the temperature might be a problem. Salt water shouldn't be a factor as long as it's rinsed with fresh water afterwards. Good luck.

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.

Yes. I am using mine with a saltwater setup. We have a sand filter and we just turn the salt generator off while vaccuming the pool.

Chemicals used in the saltwater version are just pool salt. It comes in 40 pound bags. You also will need a certain fine grain sand (this goes inside your filter).

That could be. Take a 20 oz water sample into Leslie's Pool Supply or your local pool supply store and have them check the salinity to make sure. They may even check it for free.

The pool comes with fresh water sand filter. Chlorine would have to added to keep clean of algae. No salt added to this filter.Or buy an extra saltwater filter that connects to freshwater system that comes with pool. We like that very much! No chlorine needed. Keeps water crystal clear. Saltwater filter converts salt to chlorine. Salt stays in pool. Saltwater filter took about a month to come from place ordered. We had to shock pool until filter got here.

As soon as you get the salt level in your pool to the specs this will produce chlorine. You will have to monitor it to find the proper amount if time to run unit but it works great. I suggest a chlorine stabilizer you will run the unit less with it. Good luck

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.
