Yes, this cartridge filter system can absolutely be used with a saltwater pool system. The two work together without any issues. The saltwater chlorine generator produces chlorine from dissolved salt in the water, and the cartridge filter’s job is simply to trap dirt, debris, and fine particles, and it isn’t affected by the salt itself.
As for your pump and internal components, saltwater is mildly corrosive over time, but modern pool pumps like this AquaPro brand pump, filters, and heaters that are rated for saltwater use are designed with materials (like plastics, resins, stainless steel, and corrosion-resistant coatings) that handle the salt concentration in pools (typically 2,500–3,500 ppm).
While cartridge filters and pumps are built to handle the mild salt levels in a swimming pool, we also recommend adding a sacrificial inline zinc anode, which gives you an extra layer of protection against corrosion. The way it works is simple: the zinc anode is more “reactive” than the metals in your pool equipment, so if any corrosion were to occur, the anode corrodes first, sparing your pump, heater, and other components.
