will the screws hold up to salt water pool? Or do I need to get special screws?

I used the screws that came with it in my saltwater pool. The screws at the top that are not always submerged are rusted slightly, but only surface rust it appears. The screws under the water line look just fine.

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 don't recall if any mounting screws are included, but no special screws are required. Just use the proper screw/anchor depending upon the surface you are mounting to.

I did not install outside. So I am unaware if there is any problems with it. But a friend of mine has two set which he installed a few years ago on his boat dock and they both seem to be holding up fine. (Salt water docks)

You could use screws but I used foam mounting tape. It has held up for over 3 years. Mounted on left side near the front of trailer.

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

Yes, I had to drill through my top rail. I cant think of any way you could get around drilling. The result is 2 screw heads visible on the top of the rail. I just made sure the holes lined up perpendicular to the pool wall and they really arent noticable or bothersome. It's worth the tradeoff, ive had mine for 2 seasons now and they're great!

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.

I used this to make a pool slide and has been there for a couple years now in the Florida sun..without any problem. Although the bolts rusted that join the sections together..but it is a salt water pool so that is something to consider.

I don't think so. It's been about two pool seasons or so since I repaired my vac so I can't remember the screw length. I will say that this kit works great to this day! If you need longer screws because of stripped plastic housing try Lowes or Home Depot. Just remember to use stainless steel ones! Good luck!

I would say probably not without a little enginuity. It is designed for an above ground pool. And I would try to find new screws for this too the ones that come with it suck. And I would use stainless steel screw s if you can find em

I hope so . I'm converting my pool to salt water this year.................i'm thinking if you rinsed it with clear water it will be fine. let me know how u make out.. norm2428@comcast.net

Use a plastic screw (food grade and high temp suitable - e.g. for water lines) - that is the best option I can give you. The threads seems to be non-standard.You should also try getting the correct nuts from the seller.

I honestly don't know the answer to that question, Intex will be the best people to ask. But I will tell you this, I wouldn't recommend using the saltwater system with an Intex pool. It will rust thru the frame within a couple years. I had an Ultra Metal Frame by Intex and used the saltwater systems, the pool lasted me 4 summers. I ended up buying a permanent above ground pool that's meant for saltwater systems.

You need the separate pump for the saltwater system. It will attach to the pump that comes with the pool.

If it is not one with a stainless lope it should be a case type metal with a protective coating. Should hold up to saltwater

I am no expert but I am using some on a water well cover that will be exposed to direct sun and rain in South Texas. It has only been a month or two so it is still fine. I do not anticipate the screws will be the weakest link though.
