Sure you can use it with salt water. Just be sure to run about 2-5gal. buckets of plain water thru it when your done with the salt water. I would not let salt water sit in pump for any length of time.

Best-in-Class, Industrial-Grade Pump
No Cool Downs Required
Finally, a sprayer pump built to work as hard as you do without losing its cool. The industrial-grade NSQ Series on-demand pump is an engineering marvel, boasting an impressive 100% duty cycle. That means while the competition is waiting for their overworked, under designed sprayer to cool down, the NSQ Series pump isn't even working up a sweat.
Lasts 5 Times Longer
Building the best sprayer starts with using the best pump. With patent-pending DXS-3™ valves featuring chemical-resistant Viton, exclusive NSQ Series pumps provide faster priming, better performance and best of all, last up to 5 times longer than other brands.
Packed with Features
This NorthStar NSQ Sprayer Pump is packed with components that are designed to reduce wear and keep working, like a Honeywell MICRO SWITCH™, a Santoprene™ diaphragm and a chemical-resistant fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene pump manifold. The innovative smooth valve design provides faster primes. It also has our unique pressure switch, designed to slowly cycle the pump to reduce switch and motor wear. To conserve battery power, we gave it an automatic power switch that turns off when no flow is needed. When other pumps are in for repairs, the NSQ series is still on the job.

Does this pump have instant pressure when a valve is turned on or does it have a lag time while it builds up the pressure?
I have a pump now that when I first pull the trigger on my hand gun or turn on the booms it takes about a second or 2 to build the pressure back up. I do not want another pump like that. I want it to be instant pressure like most of the smaller pumps.
-
PondDoc· 9 years ago
This pump will give you instant pressure IF you have no leaks in your system. The pump will shut off when the booms are pressurized and turned off. They should stay pressurized until you pull the switch again unless you have leaks in the system.

This pump, once primed, will have no lag time. The pump will cycle on and off as needed to maintain system pressure and keep lines primed for on-demand use.

Can this pump handle light slurry mixes?? If so, how does it stand up to abraive slurry's??
-
OilCan1· 9 years ago
No. This would ruin this pump rather quickly. You need a diaphragm pump that states it can specifically handle slurry mixes.

NorthstarExpert13· 12 years ago
This pump is recommended for use in spraying non-flammable liquids such as pesticides, water for plants/trees or dust control, or water-based non-flammable sealants or stains for outdoor wood surfaces. It is not designed for a slurry mix.
