pump housing is it stainless steel and will it handle salt brine

The pump housing is aluminum. As far as salt brine is concerned, this pump or any pump will handle (move) salt brine but you want to flush the pump with fresh water after moving brine, salt or brackish water through it. I ran a wildland fire engine on the Gulf coast and I didn't find salt friendly to any metal.

Says right in the product description the housing and impeller are aluminum. I doubt it would handle salt brine for very long.

Pump housing is cast aluminum alloy, and it does handle salt brine. We bought it to use on our sailboat in case of an emergency. It definitely handles the salt water.

The pump that comes with it is not very strong, we use an Intex 2500 gph pump and it works great with the saltwater system.

The fountain is all stainless. (Well, the motor and pump housing are white, but you can't see them when the pump is assembled.) It cleans VERY easily!

Salt water and carbon steel is a bad combination. Stainless steel would serve you better in a salt water environment.

Yes. The only exposed metal is the impeller shaft. It is stainless and designed to withstand salt

It is not stainless steel, and it would not probably resist corrosion. It is intended for maintenance, tearing your components down, light cleaning of your bike, but not for hose washing. Its coating is very strong. I have spilled oil, lubricants and some water, but I dry and clean the stand after each use. For washing your bike you should consider a different oprion.

It works fine with the salt generator. It's like any other pump. You adjust run times with generator % to deliver correct chlorine level. This is a very smooth operating powerful pump. I've only had it since the end of last season. No complaints so far.

I am not sure, as my pool is a chlorinated pool. I am going to change my pool to salt nest spring, so I would like to know myself.

I've had these on my 20' salt water trailer for 2 years now and they work perfectly. The Stainless Steel metal is a high grade and does not show any rust. 100% Stainless Steel!

it appears to me that the motor housing is stainless and the pump impeller housing is cast iron; mine's worked quite well here in FL; it replaced a pump with a plastic housing that only lasted 2 yrs before housing failed

I can't see any reason why it wouldn't be safe to use in salt water. It is a totally sealed unit. I am running mine in a tank with anti-freeze in it.If you know anything about anti-freeze and plastics, it tends to get thru any low quality seal. I have had no problems in that area. Tank seals leak, but not the pump.Hope this helps.

the saltwater system does not cause it to rust anymore than normal for atmospheric corrosion in your area.. i have some rust on one of the tubes but that was within the 1st 3 months ... i have had it up now for 3+ years and no more rusty areas.. regular chlorine system would cause more corrosion than the saltwater system which is better on you... have had more problems with the generator than anything else...

yes, it will as with any sump pump. My preference to use pumps with Plastic housings with motors above the level of the pit. The brine is corrosive to metals and don't believe the salt will be kind to them.

It is. The casing resists salt air corrosion. But, it functions just as well in fresh water too.

I have a salt water pool system and I purchased this latter a couple years ago and I am very satisfied with this latter and also it has stood up to the salt water no rust on it so far and yes it is very stable !!!

Yes, this would be a great replacement however it's just a filtration unit and pump. It has no affect on Chlorine and ph levels. At this point you have two options: Continue to utilize Chlorine or convert to Saltwater.

No! This knife is made of carbon steel and will rust. There are other versions of this same knife such as this one (http://www.amazon.com/Mora-Companion-Stainless-Steel-Fixed/dp/B004ZAIXSC/ref=pd_sim_sg_8 ) in stainless that would be much better suited for use around salt water.
