Warning: Coastal salt air is corroding connectors faster than ever
Honestly, I've been doing more jobs near the ocean this year. Tbh, the salt in the air is causing real issues with metal parts. I saw connectors that were fine last month now all green and crusty. It means more replacements and unhappy customers. Now I use weatherproof seals on every outdoor termination. It takes a bit longer but prevents callbacks. Ngl, this trend has me packing extra seals for any beach town job.

Guess the ocean's idea of a welcome gift is just slowly eating all your hardware. It's like the salt air sees a clean connector and takes it as a personal challenge. So now I just show up to any coastal job already expecting to do everything twice.

Isn't that just how it goes? Seems like any constant force, even just air, wears things down bit by bit over time.

It's funny how the smallest consistent things cause the biggest headaches. Like a tiny drip of water will wear a groove in stone if it just keeps going every single day. Guess that's just life slowly sanding everything down.
