Is this combo saltwater or fresh water?

It is very fresh water I have made the mistake of using a other make of the Abu garcias to salt water fish for sting ray which resulted in a broken poll and lost fish.

I use mine in saltwater all the time, in the Gulf of Mexico. I try to heavily rise with freshwater after each use and shoot a little wd-40 in it. It's not as smooth as the day i bought it, but for an inexpensive combo it works fine.

it is for both saltwater and freshwater, i used it for years in florida, and here in illinois

Since salt is TDS and it brings TDS's to zero I would say yes. But after living with the system I would say get a RO. Zero water was the most expensive water system I used. I got 5 gallons only from each filter, and they only last for 9 days regardless of water cleaned before the water start smelling like rotten fish I went with a good 5 stage RO and very happy with it.

...perhaps saltwater would not be very good ...try and see in fresh, I find that heat affects it.

I wouldn't combine the two. Especially if you get the filter running again. What is wrong with your filter? If you can't get it running, I'd suggest adding more salt and some fresh water.

This one as a kit is specially is for FRESHWATER, same as one like this one for Saltwater as well. Now answering: The ONLY difference between both kits (fresh and salt) is that fresh one have an additional test (pH)-&gt; is for fresh water only High Range pH, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate test are all the same for any type of water, the fresh water one have 5 chemicals total with 4 test tubes, while salt water have 4 chemicals and 4 test tubes. There are other minerals that are specially required for salt or fresh..but thats another story. Once again, fresh water and salt water kit ARE THE SAME, with exeption of pH that is specially for fresh water ;)

I have this installed for my fresh water wash down option on my 21' Seapro...It worked in a Salt Water environment all last season but I don't know about its actual use for saltwater.

We have salt water and no problems yet. It's been in the water about half a year.

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 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 :-/

There are two models one for fresh and one for salt I love mine on salt reef aquarium have had for almost 2 years

With the correct saltwater system yes. And as a user of salt water I would recommend it, have not used chemicals in two years.

This is a 1st + 2nd degree. The only thing to be added is a combo and.... water. :)

Have used this in fresh water only,,but would think it would be a good idea to rinse after salt water use to avoid rusting.

When we purchased the pool it came with its stock filter pump. As an extra we purchased the stand alone saltwater system and connected the two in series. I would assume a combo pump/saltwater system is all you'd need to do the job, assuming the pump has some form of filtering system built into it. You should make sure the pump in the combo system is at least as powerful as the standard pump that comes with the 18' x 48" pool, as water flow strength is critically important for the saltwater system to operate (a water flow that's too weak will shut down the saltwater system and post an alarm). An Intex representative should be able to answer that question for you. When we purchased the pool it came with its stock filter pump.

I`m using mine in saltwater and it seems to be working well. Of course I clean it with fresh water after each use.
