Minn Kota makes a line that is designed for SeaWater. From my understanding, the propeller parts are designed to withstand the corrosive that salt does to a typical motor which this one is NOT designed to do. I wouldn't risk it.

I would say yes. I use it in a salt water swimming pool, but have not used it in the ocean. The device is sealed and should not let in any water, salt or otherwise. If you are worried about effect of salt remaining on the surface and drying out there, wash it off after use. Additionally, the instructions coming with the device do not contraindicate use in salt water.

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.

Yes no problem. Better use in fresh then salt. Will promote plant growth but not for any use in live corals

No it is not designed for removing salt from sea water. That is a different style and much more expensive.

Hi, this is Steve at Aqua Products. This unit is safe to use in all pool waters including salt. Note: It's a best practice to always remove the unit after each use and rinse it when possible with fresh water. This will help prolong the life of the cleaner

I am not sure what the specs say but I don't see any reason why it can't be used with salt water. All of the electrical components are pretty well sealed as far as I can tell. It is a brushless motor so there is no need for a seal that is going to wear out either. It's pretty cheap and worth a try. Jordan

It has a sand filter that is designed for fresh water. It could be converted to salt bath at would require additional expense

Don't know but I've been using it in salt water last year without any problems.

Can be used in salt or fresh water. If you use in salt water just rinse it off after use. Will last a lot longer for 30 seconds of work

I use mine strictly for freshwater, probably could be used for saltwater but I would not recommend it.

Mine is not a salt water pool. It is fresh water. I use chlorine on a regular basis. I went to my local Leslies pool supply when I filled it the first time. They test your water for free as often as you need. They told me what chemicals to add at the beginning and use chlorine since then. I love, love, love my pool.

Yes, but it would probably not be very beneficial if the surface is always touching salt water. This product is just a very heavy exterior coat, but not actually "permanent".

I'm not sure. The package says salt water. Maybe you should look for the Gulp that is good for fresh water. I don't know if the fish know the difference.

Hello, this machine can be used in salt water, rinse with water when washing it

I have only used it in freshwater, but don't see why it wouldn't work in saltwater. There is only a small bit of metal shaft that holds the propellers, and if rust is a concern than rinse it off after use. It will get wet inside during use, so have paper towel inside to absorb.
