Can it be used in salt water?

Probably it would rust as it is made of metal. No salt water here in the Midwest to test itMaybe you could paint it with a rust proof paint before using and be sure to rinse with freshwater after using

It can be used in salt water but does do a very good job of cleaning and a pain to get in and out of pool. Went back to Polaris within two months

I use it in salt water. You should rinse w fresh water after exposure. I'm on my second one. First lasted 3 years. Longest of any I've had. I recommend it.

Just make sure you rinse it off when used in either. Have used mine in saltwater multiple times with no problems.

I see no reason why this unit could not be used in salt water. I am not for sure if maps for some salt water area's is loaded but I know you can get a card and load them into unit. It does come with transducer and the GPS reads your speed, it is very accurate.

Hello, this machine can be used in salt water, rinse with water when washing it

Panasonic says it can be used in salt water, but we used ours only one time underwater, snorkeling at about 6 to 8 feet (and rinsed it afterwards), and within a few weeks the battery ground connector was so badly corroded the camera no longer would turn on. Trying to contact Panasonic support now, but their automated "help" system is a joke.

Probably. I only ran mine in a freshwater lake, however. Not sure how saltwater may affect the motor or other mechanism.

Thanks for your inquiry. To keep the item long life, we do not recommend you use the item in salt water.

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 don't think it can run in salt water. The reason I say this is that it must be in the water for it to start. The water goes through an internal cooling/power system and I don't think salt water would be good for it. I would contact the manufacturer directly to make sure this is true or not.

If you are asking about using it in a saltwater aquarium, I would not recommend it. I bought for my saltwater tank and realized it has metal parts. I ended up finding a completely pvc flapper valve to use instead.

This pump can be used in fresh or saltwater. I currently use it in saltwater.

I don't see why you couldn't use it for saltwater. Should work as it is inert. I'm not a saltie- expert though, mind you. There are some substrates out there that will buffer the water better for saltwater. Saltwater requires a higher pH and a higher GH/KH. Using an inert substrate won't hurt your fish or alter the chemistry of the water- but won't provide any buffering for pH swings etc. As fish "pee" and "life-happens" the pH of the water will change slightly between water changes. You will usually be better off for saltwater with a buffered substrate... but this wouldn't be bad.

I have never used it in salt water, I suppose it could be used, my first thought would be the same as fishing reels. When I use rods and reels in salt water I always make an effort to clean and flush with fresh water prior to storing them. The metal frame would certainly be exposed to salt water, and would rust if neglected. The pontoons would fair much better, but would clean them as well after use in salt water.

According to the manufacturer's literature it can be used in saltwater with the recommendation that it be rinsed in fresh water after every use. Personally I wouldn't since the moving parts aren't designed for that heavy usage and the reel is enclosed. A casting reel would be more what you'd want unless you plan to use this reel just one season. There are more than a couple plastic parts in this fine spincast reel.

I haven't tried it with salt water, nor at that temperature, Sorry. It appears the internal vanes are plastic so the temperature might be a problem. Salt water shouldn't be a factor as long as it's rinsed with fresh water afterwards. Good luck.
