Can it be used in salt water tank?

I have a freshwater tank but I just read someone else say they used it in salt water and I guess the salt can clog up the air bubble holes and they removed the light after a year.

yes it could... I liked it for awhile but then some of the holes for the bubbles plugged up and then some of the lights went out. I ended up removing it from the tank after about a year

This pump can be used in fresh or saltwater. I currently use it in saltwater.

No , for saltwater you need a bigger tank to do anything ,witch means a bigger filter

It should be okay in fresh water, though I'm curious why you'd want to do this. I wouldn't submerge this in a brackish or salt water aquarium.It is made of chrome/nickel (not sure which) plated brass and should hold up well against corrosion, in theory. However, I think that in most situations it would be a lot more convenient if left in an accessible spot outside of the tank.

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.

Yes I have bought 2 of these through the years For my 95 gal. salt water tank and I am very pleased with its performance.

I don't see why not as it is a really heavy duty cast iron pump. Unless there is something about salt water I'm not aware of.

Yes it can be used inside the tank as long as the outflow opening is slightly above the water line

Says right in the product description the housing and impeller are aluminum. I doubt it would handle salt brine for very long.

Of course it can! The reason reef aquarium enthusiasts are interested is because we need the purest water possible before adding the reef salt mix. Essentially, we want it to be as close to pure h2o so that we have control over the final mixture. Pure is just as good for drinking as for mixing.

Yes! They are great in both fresh and salt tanks. I use mine in a fresh water tank and some in a fresh water pond too! Make sure you order a lot tho. Over 100 for a small wet dry filter. I ordered 50 and it was not close to enough! Needed about 200!

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.

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

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.

I am sorry, I can't help to much with my answer because we've only used it in our pool and it works pretty good, but about salt water I really don't know. Sorry :-/
