Sta-Rite heater

[DONNIE]

I have purchased and installed a Sta-Rite SR200NA natural gas 200K BTU heater. While reading all the fine print I found one place where it says "for heating freshwater pools only". I never saw that on their website while researching heaters. Am I going to have a problem with 3000ppm salt?

As a follow-up........... I called Sta-Rite and they said I was OK. The wording in the manual refers to "salt water pools" not "saltwater pools" (Thats what he said). Then he explained how some ocean front pools are "ocean water" pools. I'm so glad he cleared that up for me. Anyway.....I'm good!

Real "ocean water" has approx 40,000 ppm salt. This water is very corrosive. Pools with Salt Water Chlorine Generators have 3,000 ppm, and this water is basically not corrosive at all. Your heater is fine with 3,000 ppm, but not 40,000 ppm.
