What is base metal? To be installed in salt air.

I installed these numbers about one year ago and they still look like new. I live about six miles from the ocean and get a steady ocean breeze, but I don't think there is too much salt in wind by the time it gets here.

They are a nickel alloy, slightly magnetic. Nickel and nickel-base alloys have very good resistance to atmospheric corrosion.

I believe it's steel. I am in the desert and have had no problems with the oppressive heat, not sure about the salty air. I also bought these about 5 years ago for our house in Southern California and they still look brand new. Hope this helps a little.

It has a sand filter that is designed for fresh water. It could be converted to salt bath at would require additional expense

METAL,...very much so, weighty for a tent install on an upper side. O.K. for a top vent though.

Metal, with a magnetic strip on the bottom that keeps it firmly in place. Used with Granite Counter tops.. Works GREAT !

I'm not sure for certain; however, this is an ALL PLASTIC item so the temperature alone would probably damage it. I would think the salt water application would be okay, assuming you flushed it with fresh water after use. I think you're going to need a more expensive "all brass" water meter for your particular application.

metal tube, and be sure if you buy it make sure you have a high pressure hose .

A screened porch is "outside" even when there's a roof. "Outside" = humidity. Humidity + Oxygen = rust (for ferrous materials) and corrosion (for other components). Therefore, unless a product indicates that it can be installed "outside" or in high humidity areas (bathrooms, e.g.) the default installation location for any electrical or decorative product is "inside", and away from any potential for high humidity.Home Depot sells a brushed nickel "outdoor" lamp (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Hampton-Bay-Brushed-Nickel-1-Light-Outdoor-Cottage-Lantern-BOA1691H-BN/202022740?N=5yc1vZc7qq) and even it will corrode - outdoors & sheltered under a roof, but not from humidity + Oxygen.

I've had mine installed for a couple years now outside, under a covered area and it has weathered fine. The metal seems to be an aluminum material.

The black mount that you see with mounting holes over the first and third filter is metal. The blue filter containers are plastic. I do not see a reason you cannot install it outside if you do not have freezing conditions and you keep the metal painted.

It has metal on the bottom that touches the water. This metal tends to rust quickly. Eventhough I keep it dry between uses. Not sure if it's a product defect or because I live close to the ocean --

2 year warranty. No salt. As long as you protect the unit from the elements it should last many, many years.

I'm not sure, but it is a quality Stainless unit. I would have no problem using it in salt water.

It is. The casing resists salt air corrosion. But, it functions just as well in fresh water too.

Ive had mine for a year now but don't live in a salty area. However I never cover it and have yet to have a problem. If you keep it covered when not in use you shoul be okay. Not all the parts are stainless steel so over time I'm sure they will rust. A helpful hint. Ash of any kind when mixed with water or any moister will cause rust. Cean the inside on a regular bases and lay a little stainless polish on it from time to time and you should be okay.

It's been a while since I bought it. I returned it because it was junk. The base was a cast material- probably aluminum, but possibly steel.
