Is it okay to use this in salt water?

I would say yes. I use it in a salt water swimming pool, but have not used it in the ocean. The device is sealed and should not let in any water, salt or otherwise. If you are worried about effect of salt remaining on the surface and drying out there, wash it off after use. Additionally, the instructions coming with the device do not contraindicate use in salt water.

I usually use mine in fresh water, but while on vacation I used it everyday for a week and a half in salt water and it was totally fine. Just rinse it off after, obviously.

I love my waterproof ipod and use it a lot. So spoiled that I don't want to swim without music. Recently I have been swimming in a salt water pool and the last two times I used it I had problems. It quit playing and then came back in five minutes later. Right away I thought the salt was causing the problem. But honestly not sure what happened so ultimately not sure how to respond to your question.

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.

I have used it in salt water (i.e. South China Sea). After use I immediately flush it (run in bucket with fresh water for 10 min) to prevent internal corrosion. So far so good.But please note, I use the outboard as an emergency engine and not for everyday use. Hope this helps.

No it can not be used in salt water, it works excellent but if you bow mount it you have to turn the control head around on the shaft this info is not in the instruction they asume you are useing it on the transum of the boat.

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've used mine in saltwater since the day I bought it. That was almost a year ago. I just rinse it very well when I get home. This motor works perfectly on my little skiff!

I only use this anchor line in fresh water so I don't know if salt water would corrode the thimble or not. I imagine if you rinse it off in fresh water it should be fine.

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!

I use it in Caribbeans salty water,as it saying on instruction book after salty water you need to rinse with fresh water.Until now no problem

Yes. This reel can be used in fresh water or salt, I have had no problems with this reel, just keep in mind that if you use it in salt water make sure to use fresh water to rince it off, it will last a life time.

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

I haven't tried it with salt water, nor at that temperature, Sorry. It appears the internal vanes are plastic so the temperature might be a problem. Salt water shouldn't be a factor as long as it's rinsed with fresh water afterwards. Good luck.

Yes, I would never use this in saltwater, also I would not use it for anything bigger than Bluegill or Sunfish if you want it to last, its just not a quality piece.

Have used this in fresh water only,,but would think it would be a good idea to rinse after salt water use to avoid rusting.

Hi, this is Steve at Aqua Products. This unit is safe to use in all pool waters including salt. Note: It's a best practice to always remove the unit after each use and rinse it when possible with fresh water. This will help prolong the life of the cleaner
