How well does it work in a saltwater chlorine pool?

Works great in chlorine pool, not sure about salt water, when actually working.

I do not have a salt water pool but I can tell you that I've purchased the Mirra not once, but twice and am deeply disappointed with the machine. It simply doesn't last.

I have a regular chlorine pool and I let the Mirra 530 clean daily. It works very well for me. There are some spots I have to brush some areas, but the cleaner does 95% of the cleaning.

I preferred to the iRobot Verro to the Mirra. Larger roller (compared to wheel) to "rub/scrub" pool. I don't see how water saltwater vs chlorine would make a difference.

We have a plain chlorine pool and it has been fantastic. Not sure how it wood be in saltwater

I've used mine in saltwater since the day I bought it. That was almost a year ago. I just rinse it very well when I get home. This motor works perfectly on my little skiff!

They seem very durable (good quality). I have never used it in chlorine but I suspect it would be okay if you rinsed it out with regular water after being in the pool.

Yup! I've used it in salt water, fresh water, and chlorinated water without problems.

Well, I have a salt pool and have not had a problem with algae. I can say it does clean the skum from winter out. It took me a few time because of having to clean the net. I added a bigger system to my pool this year, sand pump, and the suction is great working with the vacuum. I hope this helps.

Yes. I'm not sure about the other reviews. It has worked great for us so far. I use it once a week in a salt water pool. My only complaint is the size of the net pores. Small pieces of grass slip through, but all and all I would by again.

If this switch is faulty your intellichlor will not produce chlorine regardless of the amount of salt in the pool. First check for proper salt level 3000-3400 ppm (less and your chlorine generator will not work. More won't hurt but might rust ladders and grab bars.) Your water temperature must be 60 degrees, you must have adequate flow (rarely the problem). This unit wears out often, so more than likely this is the problem.

We've used it in our saltwater pool and it seems fine so far. We have not used it in/near the ocean, though.

I used one in my 10x30 pool last year and it worked pretty well. I wouldn't recommend using it without one of those chlorine floaters, though. The tablet takes a few days to dissolve and is concentrated enough that you probably don't want the bare tablet touching the liner of your pool or the swimmers.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

I have used mine in the chlorine pool for the past two summers and so far so good. It hasn't faded or lost it's elasticity.

I only used salt when I opened our pool. It took 3 40 lb bags for a 16' X 48" pool and the level was perfect. We did have a long weekend a couple of weeks ago where our GFC in the pump got tripped and came home to algae. To fix it we added 10 oz of algaecide and 3 lbs of shock, cleared it up in a couple of days and allowed the saltwater system to catch up. Still very pleased with the system.

Yes, I have this set-up and it works GREAT. My pool is only 16' round, 48'' high (approx. 5000 gal) though so I set the filter pump to run approx. 4 hrs. every night together with the saltwater chlorinator and I only had to shock the pool once or twice last summer, and that only because I did not run the filter for a few days. What a change from years past when it took so much work just to keep the water balanced. Setting your pump up with a saltwater chlorinator will give you a virtually MAINTENANCE-FREE pool all summer long. No more constantly adding chlorine or trying to keep your water balanced. You do it once, and then pretty much maintenance free all summer giving you time to really enjoy your pool.
