is this for saltwater set-ups?

Its completely inert black coated sand. You could use it in a saltwater setup but it would not affect water chemistry in any way. I have only used it in freshwater setups personally.

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 don't see why you couldn't use it for saltwater. Should work as it is inert.

Yes, it can be used for salt water, it has sealed bearings. Just rinse it off with fresh water after you use it.

I don't have a salt water pool so I cannot answer your question. My last one ran for 14 years with my chlorine pool.

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.

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.

Sorry very hard typing on my phone. But hopefully you understand. I love my salt water setup. I don't mess with any real chemicals.

Yes!! We just put a bag and a half of the salt for water softeners that you can buy at a hardware store. It worked really well. I believe you need to have a special salt-water pump, though, which Intex sells. Trying to use salt water with a normal pump might cause damage.

It would be fine,I have it on a 37 gallon salt water also and it has done an excellent job for the last year, just do your maintenance.

Works great in chlorine pool, not sure about salt water, when actually working.

Yes, but beware that some ammonia pads are freshwater only. Something to keep in mind if your have a saltwater tank.

I don't believe this particular model is for saltwater but they do have models where you can choose whether it will be for freshwater or salt water. In the search box just put in paddleboat for salt water.

yes the salt water pump should be in the kit. if it comes with the paper filter I highly recommend getting the bigger pump with the sand filter.

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.

I'm not sure, but it is a quality Stainless unit. I would have no problem using it in salt water.
