[QUOTE="RotorWash, post: 98848, member: 18210"] Glad to hear all was ok with your Spark! As Jeremy mentioned in post #6, fresh water is less likely to corrode. Very much so actually, this blurb explains why; "Pure distilled water does not conduct electricity and will not damage most electrical equipment that is clean and free of debris. Tap water is not pure water because it mixes with polarized minerals as it makes its way through your pipe. These polarized minerals are what makes water conduct electricity. This is how water, causes most electronics to short. Salt water, on the other hand, can be dangerous to electronics. This is due to the NaCI (Sodium chloride) creating a chemical bond with many surfaces. These bonds happen immediately upon wetting — resulting in a salt residue remaining long after the water is gone. Just one second of salt water exposure can have the same effects as all day salt water exposure. Over a period of weeks, months or even years, the salt left behind continues to corrode any susceptible, affected surface. The corrosion process continues until the salt residue is exhausted or the corroded surface is consumed." [/QUOTE]
