Will this work for Salt Water pool? Sorry I am a noob pool owner and trying to learn stuff

I imagine it would work in any pool. It's just checking for the chemicals present in the water. Shouldn't matter if it's salt water. You might email the manufacturer. I did a couple of years ago and they answered me right away.

I honestly don't know, would think probably not, as this tests for chlorine too. Maybe do a search for saltwater test kits? I'm unfamiliar with what you need exactly, so sorry.

It should fit just fine, as it attaches to the inlet fitting on the pool side, not to the pump directly. Your saltwater pump should do 1600gph, which is enough to power this vac. Make sure you are in pump mode (FP) and not salinating when using it.

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.

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

Hi Linda, sorry I don't have a saltwater pool so I don't know. Possibly checking with Hayward or your local pool company that sells them, they may be able to help you.

Yes, there would be no issue with using it with a salt water pool. The only thing would be that you would need to use a Scalewatcher 5 star unit due to the fact that it is outside. You cannot use the 3 star for outdoor use.

Not without some significant McGyvering. I would recommend you keep using the filters until a part fails or you see the salt water system or sand filter pump on sale somewhere. In the mean time, as long as you clean the pool before putting it away for the winter, the salt water system is much better than harmful chemicals...

Yes it can. I have a salt water pool and it works just fine. I haven't noticed any corrosion and I've had my SharkVac for about two years now.

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.

i usually use chlorine tabs in a floating dispenser. I don't know anything about salt water pools.

If you have a gunite pool, salt water is not an option! Salt destroys the surface. Floatron is the answer for gunite!

A friend in MY who has an Intel salt water pool uses the solar cover. We have chlorine and use it and it really heats the pool so nicely and helps to minimize leaves and blowing dust from getting in the pool. I would recommend that you call a pool supply store to ask if the solar cover can be used with the salt water pool you have.

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 it will work fine for pumping out a saltwater pool, simply rinse the unit off when your finished. The salt will only damage the unit if it is allowed to sit on the unit. It is a very durable unit I used it to drain a 1 acre pond for yearly maintenance and it was run 8hrs a day for 10 days straight. Keep and eye on the oil and change it as recommended!

Ours is regular water. We've never done a salt water pool filter before. If I recall correctly, the instructions indicated you could convert to salt. See if you can find a "how to" video on YouTube. I found helpful hints there when setting up the vacuum.
