Yes it does. Prolonged exposure to SW will damage and rust SS.

I had a filter with a SS bar on it that rusted out... And yes it came on the filter.

Higher grade SS would probably be better. But I guess I can't vouch for grade used in steel screws. But I guess there has to be screws ok for SW as our pumps and whatnot have screws.... Maybe coated SS?


Hmmm... Now I want to know.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
