Does the stainless steel parts with holes corrode from contact with the salt (NaCl) ?

No they still look goodI still would recommend them , I pour more than I shake

The stainless steel cap is very sturdy and won't rust. The black part on the cap is a heavy plastic, the pour spout & rim. I do wash by hand and make sure it's very dry.

While salts and other chemicals (chlorine) are corrosive to metals and even to stainless steel, you should be fine as long as the salt is not wet and in contact with the metal. Stainless steel has a thin layer of oxide that is dissolved by chlorine and salts but as I understand it, the reaction does not occur without a liquid.

Salt can possibly pit ANY stainless steel pan. Usually when you add salt to the pan, there is already something heating in it. So, adding salt shouldn't be a problem because it dissolves in the moisture of the food. I have always been taught that when adding salt to water, make sure that it is hot, so the salt dissolves away. Stainless steel is a misnomer because it can discolor. It can be cleaned very easily. I have this multi clad set and I have never seen black spots. I have seen some blue/white spots, but this is from the mineral content in our water. A bit of bar keepers friend cleans everything up. A bit of vinegar can clean up the pans as well, but bar keeper works really well. Salt can possibly pit ANY stainless steel pan.

the saltwater system does not cause it to rust anymore than normal for atmospheric corrosion in your area.. i have some rust on one of the tubes but that was within the 1st 3 months ... i have had it up now for 3+ years and no more rusty areas.. regular chlorine system would cause more corrosion than the saltwater system which is better on you... have had more problems with the generator than anything else...

Package didn't say so, but since it is stainless steel I can't imagine why not. From years of living where salt spray blew up to my house, I recommend you go to the hardware store and get stainless steel screws for installation.

No! And the salt gets clogged really easy! You have to bang on it pretty good to get it clear. Hope this helps

I'm guessing the entire part is stainless steel. I use mine daily and have not had a problem with any part rusting. I just rinse it or give it a light scrub and let it dry on a dish rack. Hope that helps!

Sorry can't help you ...but stainless is not suppose to rust ?.. unless its around salt water etc ...? and even then, depending on what type of stainless it is .. I have not used it in that application so I can't really say. Its is very durable finish ( if done I would suggest only spraying it and doing multiple coats). At least 3

I've had these on my 20' salt water trailer for 2 years now and they work perfectly. The Stainless Steel metal is a high grade and does not show any rust. 100% Stainless Steel!

There's a big beefy one right up the middle. I believe it is stainless steel and so you may see some pitting but I don't think it will corrode as some of the others you have had. I'm sure it will last you much more than a year even with the humidity.

I have not exposed this item to seawater so I cannot comment from experience. Stainless steel comes in many grades, some are more resistant to corrosion in seawater than others. There is no indication regarding the type of stainless used, so you are better off going with the brass or plastic offerings.

I think they would perform fine in that situation. Just keep an eye out for corrosion. Salt water can corrode things that you wouldn't believe it could.

Not at all. I live on the salt marsh in Savannah. I purchased the shelving unit last fall. Assembled it in my garage where it has been since then and there is no sign of rust or any corroding. I love the portability and convenience and especially the price!!! I would recmend it to anyone!

I would not use it in a high risk application like this. It will eventually fail and spray anyone near it with hot salt water. Even brass will corrode, so stainless steel would be the best choice for the temperature and the corrosion.

It appears to have a galvanized finish. Don't know about salt spray resistance as I remove it every time I haul the trailer due to road and curb clearance issues

I've not had any issues of rust so far. We use it in salt water area and it's held up fine. A quick rinse after each use seems to do the trick.

my guess is a pool with chlorine will not make it rust, but I'm not 100% sure. salt water pool maybe, but a chlorine pool isn't a salt water pool.

I have never used it in a salt water environment. Since there are no metal parts I don't see how it woiuld rust. The double action is fantastic and the unit is very durable
