in a word, no, filtering isnt an option with any filter at this point, look toward solar stills.

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.

Its a regular blow up tube so it should work just fine, the salt may or may not clog up the squirt gun (I've never used a squirt gun in the ocean before so I don't know it it causes any issues) the only problem with using in the ocean I could see would be the possibility of being knocked off by a wave (like with any other floatation device or being swept out if someone wasn't with the child)

I would think you could use it with salt water since all internal working parts that the salt water can come into contact with is plastic.

Yes, you can. But, be aware that even though it says "marine amp" its not rated for marine or aquatic situations. There is nothing to seal and keep the water from coming inside the amp, right to the heart of the amplifier.

Yes, there would be no issue with using it with a salt water pool. The only thing would be that you would need to use a Scalewatcher 5 star unit due to the fact that it is outside. You cannot use the 3 star for outdoor use.

It sure does a great job pumping muddy water so I can't see why it won't pump sea water. If it were me I would wash it out each time I finished using it.

Yes, it can be used with a salt system. In fact it complements each other. The minerals help by stabilizing the water and having less of a demand on the chlorine generator.

I don't see why not. Just change water frequently and I definetly recommend a tiny sprinkle of salt in each water change.

I can get back to you about it I am not 100% certain but I am pretty sure that my friend uses it with salt water aquariums. He works at the world largest aquatic pet store so I can ask him for you..

No it can not be used in salt water, it works excellent but if you bow mount it you have to turn the control head around on the shaft this info is not in the instruction they asume you are useing it on the transum of the boat.

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

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.

No, it can't be used for salt water. Desalination is a much more complicated process that can't be achieved in a device of this size or at this cost. You'd want to follow methods describe online (in an emergency situation) to get the salt content removed from the water first. Then use this product to drink with to remove the impurities.

I tried to use it for sea glass and it did not work well. it was great on sea shells. It did break not long after I bought it. THe switch became loose & a spark flew out. so I stopped using it. I would not recommend it.

Not sure JH, I haven't tried that yet. I suppose if the water is still enough, not rough waves, that it would work just fine.
