I don't know, but DO NOT buy this product! It is garbage and they do not stand behind their products!

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

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 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

Its not going to stop working if you put it in water. Its like saying is a rubber duckie water proof. Just let it dry out first if you want to use it outside of the water.

I do not have a salt water pool; however, my girlfriend does have an in ground salt water pool and uses this device daily. She has had it for quite a number of years and has never had an issue with it. It is only in the pool when cleaning. When it comes out, she cleans it thoroughly and rinses it out. Then it's ready for the next clean up. Hope this answered your question. This Aquabot is awesome!!!!! Put it on and let it work.

I bought this for my husband, he said you may use it in saltwater as long as you flush it out with fresh water after each use.

Yes - I used it for snorkeling in the ocean and then used it again the next day at the beach and it worked fine. The manual says to rinse it off after use in salt water.

Why certainly it can be operated in salt water as well as brackish water. Be prepared for earlier motor failure as well as other water contacted part failure. It is not specificly designed to operate in salt, but will operate in water no less. They do leak and water does get inside, then the corrosion will begin.

I don't use it in salt water. I am not sure if it is compatible or not. Recommend you check Minn Kota website.

Unknown. if the windings are sealed it may work fine in 'clean' water (as opposed to saltwater). you would just have to give it a try.

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

I'm not sure how it is in salt water. What I can tell you is that you have to have a very deep tank and that the motor is prone to failing and leaking everywhere! I would not recommend this product or this brand. The company is not helpful at all.

This can be used in salt water. It's probably geared more for people intending to use it at the beach in salt water than in a pool. Just follow the instructions and soak it in fresh water after your trip to the beach. Be sure not to open the rubber seals while it is still wet.

You can use it in salt water and on the beach, BUT it does not react well. The detector picks up the mineralization from the salt, and you will hear a constant chatter. If you are only going to be detecting beaches, I suggest looking for a beach detector.
