I have a salt water pool with a chlorine generator. Will this product work in a salt environment?

My pool builder installed this for my salt water pool. We haven't had any issues and there isn't any indication that it is filtering out the salt. From the manufacturers FAQ "Nature2 can be used with every type of chemical treatment program available except biguanide products and copper-based algaecides."

That is why I suggested contacting the company that makes them. Before I bought this for my fresh water pool I did that. Always best to check with them if not sure.

Have not read anything that said it was for one type of water or another. Considering how it works I do not see how it could harm your salt environment, but you may want to check with the company who makes these to be on the safe side.

I am not sure. We use a automatic chlorinator. I would check with your dealer.

No Shauna, The clorine will mess up and counter the good you do with the salt. You really need to empty and start fresh with your bags of salt. Your pool will stay cleaner longer and is so much more economical and easier on the skin than chlorine. Just protect the digital display on your salt pump with a basket or something as the sun will destroy the read-out and you won't be able to program it. This was my mistake. Patti

I do not have a salt water pool; however, my girlfriend does have an in ground salt water pool and uses this device daily. She has had it for quite a number of years and has never had an issue with it. It is only in the pool when cleaning. When it comes out, she cleans it thoroughly and rinses it out. Then it's ready for the next clean up. Hope this answered your question. This Aquabot is awesome!!!!! Put it on and let it work.

Let me qualify my answer by saying that we live 1/2 block from the ocean and everything rusts quickly here. Ours was up year round and after four years the top rail was rusting out. The salt-water, chlorine-generator pumps lasted less than two years each running every day. The pattern faded in the liner but it was still OK. We replaced the pool last year with a solid-walled pool with resin rails and verticals.

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

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.

The directions on the container say "use with your chlorine"... That being said, I don't know if they are compatible/useful in a saltwater system.

I have used it in both a regularly chlorinated pool and a saline pool. Saline or salt water pools generate chlorine.

My pool is salt. I also have a mechanically run cover that keeps it very clean. I only use this and muratic acid. I find that pool stores push a lot of products that are not necessary. Like conditioner/cyanuric acid is only needed at very low levels to prevent chlorine loss.Research it and you'll see 2-20 is range to do its job...not 30-50 like pool companies recommend.

No. If flow light is green, the switch is good. Test water with a salt meter or take a sample to a pool store and have it tested. Also be sure the chlorinator is clean, no calcium build up. Remember to never unplug or plug-in chlorinator when powered up. How old is your chlorinator? Salt level needs to be at least 3500 ppm.

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 run a 3/4 hp pump with this heater and the pressure has never been an issue. I also run a chlorine generator . This unit has a titanium core and is not affected by salt. The heater needs to be installed between the filter and the chlorine generator.

Depends on the volume of water in your pool. Read the instructions and work with a local pool company that sells salt.

I don't know. I also have a salt water pool, but the unit is time consuming for a large pool. It was easier for me just to use my vacuum.

Sun breaks down chlorine quickly. I'd buy it, install it (including adding the salt), and leave the power off until the next time your pool needs chlorine. Then turn it on.
