Salt Water

Welcome to the forums!

Is it the salt in the water that broke your washer? Well water, in general, tends to be harder with lots of minerals and even some heavy metals. A whole house water softener and/or descaler should be much cheaper than that and fairly easy to install.

The rusting of the faucets is likely due to high humidity. Most of the fixtures I've seen here have been cheap chrome that just cannot withstand the salty humid air.

Oceanfront has its problems.... Tv's, etc will erode more quickly
All appliances for that matter.

Not too much can be done.... it's in the air

Sounds like you will need to install a small reverse osmosis plant. These can be found here in DR.

Also your well pump, assuming it is submersible, will corrode if it is not specifically for salt water.

Thank you, let me call them.

I changed all the faucets in less than a year with stainless steel. Let's see how long they will last.

The grade of stainless steel is key to whether it corrodes or not. You probably need 316 grade stainless steel for salt water.
