Stainless Steel pumps

316 stainless steel is resistant to saltwater to some extent but in an oxygen rich brine solution the metal will eventually corrode but in a gradual rate over a year or more.

Iwaki pump casing and impeller are made of polypropylene plastic, ceramic bearings and bushing with no metallic part in contact with the fluid at all. Your water though must be free of abrasive particles like fine sand or you'll wear out the pump very fast.

yup...in States that have the T4 velocity pumps which are 316 SS (i think) ..but there is also this issue of calcium deposit on metal which renders definite maintenance...
