With the way the AC-37-9 Alert Marker 4 ft has been helping me to identify the swimming areas, It’d be nice if we could purchase more of the flares in bulk at a cheaper price.

What materials are used to make this alert marker? Is it resistant to saltwater?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for reaching out to us, Emily. The Problue AC-37-9 Alert Marker 4 ft is made from a durable float material that is designed to withstand marine environments. While we can’t dive it in deep sea, we do use materials that can resist saltwater corrosion. However, please do note that prolonged exposure to harsh marine conditions may affect its performance. We’ve had great feedback from customers who’ve used this product in coastal areas, but we recommend rinsing it with fresh water regularly to extend its lifespan.

I’m not a big fan of the color design – the more subdued color schemes would have been a nice addition. Still a great product though!
