PerformancePro Artesian2 Salt Water Kit (SWKIT)
Protect your investment and ensure long-term reliability with the PerformancePro Artesian2 Salt Water Kit. While the standard Artesian2 pump is a powerhouse in freshwater applications, saltwater environments require specialized internal components to prevent corrosion and premature seal failure.
This kit upgrades the pump’s most vulnerable points, replacing standard parts with high-grade marine-compatible materials. It is the essential choice for saltwater koi ponds, marine aquaculture, and coastal water features.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Advanced Mechanical Seal: Features a PTFE-coated stainless steel seal with Silicon Carbide (SiC) faces. Silicon Carbide is significantly harder and more heat-resistant than standard seal materials, providing a superior barrier against salt crystallization.
-
PVC Shaft Sleeve: Includes a specialized PVC sleeve that slides over the motor shaft, ensuring the metal shaft never comes into direct contact with corrosive saltwater.
-
Corrosion Protection: Specifically engineered to withstand the high salinity levels that would otherwise pit or degrade standard 316 stainless steel components.
-
Preserves Pump Longevity: Prevents leaks at the motor interface, which is the leading cause of motor failure in saltwater applications.
-
OEM Quality: A genuine PerformancePro accessory designed for a perfect fit and factory-level performance.

Important Warranty Information
Installing the Salt Water Kit is more than just a performance upgrade—it’s a warranty requirement. PerformancePro typically offers a 3-year limited warranty for freshwater use, but requires the Salt Water Kit for saltwater applications (which then carries a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty). Using a standard freshwater pump in saltwater without this kit will lead to rapid failure and void the manufacturer's warranty.
Pro Tip: If you are ordering a new pump, we recommend having this kit factory-installed. If you are retrofitting an existing unit, ensure the motor shaft is thoroughly cleaned of any debris or mineral buildup before sliding on the new PVC sleeve for a watertight fit.
