Has anyone tried a Pondmaster 50 in saltwater?

I would say unless it is ceramic and titanium or at the very least stainless it would be a bad idea. I was wondering the same thing. Maybe call the manufacturer and find out. I know their web sight doesn't specify so it is probable fresh water only.

Says sealed and ceramic shaft and seems to be built with the same parts as a mag??

dunno

i would be very surprised if it would not work in SW. all of their stuff is made with epoxy/plastic, and ceramic. for them to use something else would seem expensive.

have not actually looked at one, so i am just guessing here.

the only difference between a pondmaster and a Mag pump is the barb fitted volute and the longer cord.

All my mags are danner pondmaster and they all say SW compatable on it. I just havent seen where they say SW compatable on the 50.

pond master is the same company as magdrive. I have the pondmaster 3600 on my tank.......Holy crap does it move water......but beware of the heat pond masters produce. If it is a smaller tank Id recomend a ehim pump......did I spell that right?

Me too, that's what made me think of it.

I called Anne at Danner, you can use them in saltwater.
