in a word, no, filtering isnt an option with any filter at this point, look toward solar stills.

Not currently available is this portable desalinator. Katadyn Survivor 06 DesalinatorSolar stills are easy and nearly free. All you have to do is cover your salt water with clear plastic and the water that condenses on the plastic will be salt-free. All water that comes from condensation is salt-free. Look up solar still techniques.

No, put if you have plastic a cup and did a hole on near the beach you can build a solar still. Take and dig a hole cover it with plastic, place a weight over the collector and wait, several can keep one or two people a live with safe water. Use a rock or stick to put the low point over the collector It takes a few hours to a day to get a quart or two and you will need a gallon to 2 gallons a day person.

I have used a couple for years in the ocean because I live near saltwater, so if they can take those conditions, i'm sure freshwater won't hurt.

I use in fresh water. You will have to check with the manufacturer. Good Luck.

i wouldn't try, sea waters tought to deal with, and if you try and it doesnt work your only dehydrating yourself. i would spend moremoney on a better one if you want to clean sea water

The directions on the container say "use with your chlorine"... That being said, I don't know if they are compatible/useful in a saltwater system.

Hi there - No it can not. It's clearly stated that it is NOT to be used for water in the Instruction Guide. Hope that helps. : )

I can get back to you about it I am not 100% certain but I am pretty sure that my friend uses it with salt water aquariums. He works at the world largest aquatic pet store so I can ask him for you..

You need a reverse osmosis (RO) system or a distillery for salt water (seawater). This is for fresh water only, IF it did filter out salt it might only filter out a total of 1/2 cup of salt. You should try it and let us know how it works.

Yes. I live in Hawaii and use the device on a small boat. The unit is water resistant, regularly gets wet from ocean spray and I rinse it down with fresh water after each outing.

I have not tried it with water. Can only speculate that water being heavier than mdf or wood dust it may fall in the bucket instead of the vac.

I have not exposed this item to seawater so I cannot comment from experience. Stainless steel comes in many grades, some are more resistant to corrosion in seawater than others. There is no indication regarding the type of stainless used, so you are better off going with the brass or plastic offerings.

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

Minn Kota makes a line that is designed for SeaWater. From my understanding, the propeller parts are designed to withstand the corrosive that salt does to a typical motor which this one is NOT designed to do. I wouldn't risk it.

If by 'use it' you mean 'make it drinkable', then no; the LifeStraw won't remove the salt that makes sea water unsafe to drink. So, it's probably not the ideal solution for your yacht's emergency lifeboat kit. If you're boating on freshwater rivers or in swamps, however, it should remove all the particulate crud in that water, making it drinkable.There are personal desalination/emergency hydration kits available (HTI's SeaPack, for example, is available on Amazon) that can be used to make sea water drinkable. Try a web or Amazon search for 'personal desalination' and you should be able to find them. You might also want to consider an emergency solar water still to produce purified, desalinated water.
