Can I use this with a salt water system?

Absolutely. I use it at the beginning of every swim season and then as needed throughout the year in my salt water pool.

I'm not sure, but it is a quality Stainless unit. I would have no problem using it in salt water.

Yes, it can be used in salt water. I would definitely rinse it off before you store it after using it in salt water, but you should be fine.

I don't see why not as it is a really heavy duty cast iron pump. Unless there is something about salt water I'm not aware of.

I do not see any reason why it would not work with saltwater due to no bearings to worry about and everything s plated or painted. All in all its a great unit to have. I liked it so well i now have 2 of them. One on each end of the boat.

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.

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...

I am not sure what the specs say but I don't see any reason why it can't be used with salt water. All of the electrical components are pretty well sealed as far as I can tell. It is a brushless motor so there is no need for a seal that is going to wear out either. It's pretty cheap and worth a try. Jordan

Yes you can use it on a 55g salt water aquarium it will just take a bit for it to fill as it only creates 50gpd of water.

You need a reverse osmosis (RO) system or a distillery for salt water (seawater). This is for fresh water only, IF it did filter out salt it might only filter out a total of 1/2 cup of salt. You should try it and let us know how it works.

I have only used it in freshwater, but don't see why it wouldn't work in saltwater. There is only a small bit of metal shaft that holds the propellers, and if rust is a concern than rinse it off after use. It will get wet inside during use, so have paper towel inside to absorb.

Yes, you absolutely can and should be doing so. If you look at the specifications, the pool filtration process is longer than the chlorination process. On a daily basis the pool filter pump should be running longer than the salt water chlorinator. The water passes through the salt water chlorinator but without the electric charge it is just doing that, passing through.

The ffilters are micro filters for bacteria and particulars in the water. Salt would not work very well. I feel that it would real break the filters or gum them up

I would recommend a better pool pump and sand filter. The system my not be moving the water around enough for the salt water system which will cause it to fail.
