I see that it has a chrome plated handle. Will it rust when used in a salt water pool?

Chrome doesn't rust or corrode. The core material is plastic so there should never be a rust problem.

I have used it all summer and I have a salt water pool. The handle is chrome colored hard plastic! No rust in sight!

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.

I've used it this pool season in a salt water pool and it's yet to pit or rust as of yet.

I would be careful because I doubt if it is stainless steel. Water could get trapped along the shaft between the handle and the burr where it would not evaporate and cause some rust. If you wash it you should disassemble and dry thoroughly. Happy grinding!

No! This knife is made of carbon steel and will rust. There are other versions of this same knife such as this one (http://www.amazon.com/Mora-Companion-Stainless-Steel-Fixed/dp/B004ZAIXSC/ref=pd_sim_sg_8 ) in stainless that would be much better suited for use around salt water.

The only exposed metal part is the spring...still I would be reluctant to use it in a salt water system.

it is not recommended for it to be used in salt water as it will corrode quite quickly

Yes. Absolutely. You will need to rinse it off with fresh water. As you know salt water will corrode it if it is not cleaned after each use. MarineHQ

I know it won't at least rust for a long period of time if cleaned properly after each use. But if it's sitting in water constantly, then yes it will rust. Afterall, it is stainless steel. (:

Yes. I have two. The metal parts on one of them started showing some rust after a couple months of very light use. It's in a guest bathtub shower that doesn't even get much if any direct spray. The rust on mine is on the chrome inside the plastic, not the exposed chrome. But it's still very noticeable.

I used the screws that came with it in my saltwater pool. The screws at the top that are not always submerged are rusted slightly, but only surface rust it appears. The screws under the water line look just fine.

Make sure the rail is installed back from the side of the pool so the bottom of the rail does not touch the level of water you desire. It will rust! I do like it though. It has been very helpful to me because of my bad knees. Measurements are as quoted by another customer!

The one I have has been in the hot tub all last summer and is in it now and there is to rust. It still seems to work quite well.

My intex pro series metal frame pool rusted after one summer. Unfortunately the salt water system will rust metal. I plan to purchase a total resin pool which is made for salt water. But in the meantime I will use the metal frame until it gives way from rust. Best of luck

I have snorleled with the pole 5 times and no rust or corrosion. So I believe it is OK for the water and I plan to continue using it both in and out of the water.

I too have a saltwater system. There are no exposed metal parts, everything is encased in an ABS enclosure and the moving parts, except for the shaft, are not metal. The chances of scaling with the circulator look to be the same as with any other type of return fitting. I have only had the circulator install for about two months, but so far the saltwater pool has had no adverse effects on the circulator system. I have three units installed and all work as advertised.

Yes and No. Yes in that the metal most likely will not rust and the handle most likely will not be adversely affected by the heat and chlorine that is usually in dish waver detergents. No in that thers a good chance that the blade edge will be jostled and dinged and dulled especially if you're not OCD about knife handling and putting things in the dish washer. On balance like others suggest always hand wash and dry your knife and put them away as soon as possible after use,

Even stainless steel can rust in salt water, so to answer your question YES it will if you don't take care of your kit...

The ladder is made from corrosion resistant coated steel and should resist rusting under most circumstances. Rinsing after use may minimize any corrosive effects from the salt water.
