Does this unit work in salt water pools?

I checked with the company from whom I purchased my pool vac and they said "Yes."

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

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, I have had it on my salt pool for 2 years, going on three. It seems like such a simple thing, but it has held up great and it does work. I am absolutely happy with 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, 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.

It will work in both fresh and salt water. I have it with African cichlids right now and they love the current.

I did and it was fine but I have a salt water pool, I'm not sure how it would hold up to chlorine though

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.

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

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.

Why wouldn't it. The only thing that changes is the amount of salt you would use based on how many gallons of water your pool holds......it's awesome while it works...unfortunately mine worked 8 weeks....Intex customer service is poor. They are replacing the "part" but it's taking days to process the claim and they refuse to ship any way other than ground. Which means I have to wait at least 8 more days to get my part. I initially loved it. Their poor reliability and and even poorer customer service has made me negative on the product. Just being honest.

yes- but if you are buying with the intex salt water system dont wasti your money- it only lasted two weeks past the two year warranty. the sand pump still works and we have gone back to salt. We even took it inside in the winter so it was really only used for six months.

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 not received my heat pump yet but I'm told it will work on salt water. The heat exchanger is actually titanium not copper

I am not sure if this can be used for salt water pool check. I recommend searching for "salt water test strips". I think you would want to check for sodium chloride levels which this product does not check for.
