Can you use this with a saltwater system?

A salt water pools still contain chlorine, the salt cell produces chlorine via a chemical reaction so its just the same as having a chlorine pool with 2 main differences a) no need to ad chlorine and b) the water will have a slight salt taste.

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.

it is baking soda, and if you want you can add it to a salt water pool, but it will raise you pH

Yes, but for saltwater, you will need to order the zinc anodes kit. This set does not have them.

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 have taken the metal screen off to clear the impeller, almost all of the exposed parts are plastic, it should work with salt water, I would just have it pump out a couple pails of tab water after. I have been impressed with battery life.

It should work fine. I use mine with a salt water system on a 9x18 soft sided pool and it really moves the water.

It can. But it is not recomended. If used in saltwater you should remove the propeller and the shaft. Use a pipe cleaner inside the shaft housing. Then reoil with white litheom grease. Alot of work, but if you don t do this after a saltwater run. It will rust a the shaft will seize up. I trashed one in saltwater. I no longer run in saltwater at all.

I honestly don't know the answer to that question, Intex will be the best people to ask. But I will tell you this, I wouldn't recommend using the saltwater system with an Intex pool. It will rust thru the frame within a couple years. I had an Ultra Metal Frame by Intex and used the saltwater systems, the pool lasted me 4 summers. I ended up buying a permanent above ground pool that's meant for saltwater systems.

The pump that comes with it is not very strong, we use an Intex 2500 gph pump and it works great with the saltwater system.

I have it hooked up to a 1 HP motor and have an Ionizer system to help reduce the need of chorine. Do not think there should be any problem using salt water as the tubing is plastic and will not oxidize. Have not filled the started the heater as yet, as I am stilling in the finishing stages. Am pumped about the system; will inform once it is operational and am swimming in upstream in warm water.

yes you can. i had an intex salt system. i replaced the salt generator 3 times. 1 time under warranty and 2 on my own dime. this system is junk. i would recommend something besides intex. the swg leaked each time and never worked right to begin with. also the pump does not push the water very good.

Probably not, simply because of the timer that controls both the saltwater system and the filter at the same time. Before getting this pool we had a separate salt system and used the sand filter, but since this came with the all-in-one system we decided to try it. We haven't had any problems with the cartridge filter and haven't had to change the cartridge all summer. It has been a lot easier than trying to use the two systems.

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.

Well , i used mine on a freshwater tank ... I don't know about saltwater . Sorry i can't help .... But in general , this wavemaker is strong and good for big aquariums

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. our pump never turns off but the salt water pump only runs three hours.

I do not know. I do not have a salt water pool. It would be best to ask the manufacturer. I was well pleased with the item.
