Is this unit for saltwater?

I live on the Gulf coast. The maps provided with my unit have all the charts for my local salt water areas. Physically the unit is built fine. It can be used in any environment.

It has a sand filter that is designed for fresh water. It could be converted to salt bath at would require additional expense

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.

I use this in my salt water fish tank. I made a overflow box and a in tank refugium

Yes, this model actually has a setting for salt water and freshwater use, also you can choose between deep and shallow water settings.

We bought ours to use in salt water, we have only had it three months, so far so good.

Definitely. I have only used it for saltwater but it would serve well in freshwater too.

I have this installed for my fresh water wash down option on my 21' Seapro...It worked in a Salt Water environment all last season but I don't know about its actual use for saltwater.

I am not sure about a saltwater pump. I know a lot of the debri goes into the vac's filter. I have just the pump that came with the pool. You may want to call Intex.

The power on this is 110V. To be perfetctly frank with you. Though the unit is nice and may do well for a 30 gallon tank. I wouldn't advise it for anything larger if it is to be saltwater. Go with the traditional sump and overflow with the separate protien skimmer. This is a nice unit if you are considering small but will not properly do the job on anything larger.

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.

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.

Although I have never used it in a salt water application (I use mine to determine how much FRESH water I put in my RV's holding tank) my LIMITED research doesn't show that it can't be used for salt water (sorry about the double negative). One question asked about using the device for HEATED (90°C) salt water, which was recommended against; however, I believe that was a TEMPERATURE recommendation, not a water type recommendation. Like anything else, I think you would need to flush the meter out when your done so the salt doesn't dry inside the system. Good luck!

sorry for the delay, but this unit can not filter out the salt in the salt water. I contacted the manufacturer and they are not looking at this process at this time, do to the expense of what it would take to separate the salt.

I honestly don't know, would think probably not, as this tests for chlorine too. Maybe do a search for saltwater test kits? I'm unfamiliar with what you need exactly, so sorry.

I know nothing about salt water - but I have a 55 gal fresh water setup with a home made undergravel filter - just PVC pipes and the Cobalt Power head. It's been running for a few months now and I have not done anything with the tank or water and it's perfectly clear and the fish seem to be happy. So it works great for my setup.

Don't know but I've been using it in salt water last year without any problems.
