This appears to be an environment in which the sheet metal structure needs to be made of stainless steel, although in some cases aluminum may work. If the motor itself is seriously corroded, then the entire unit will need replacement, although from the photo it appears that the worst corrosion is outside. A sheet metal shop should be able to duplicate the external parts in stainless. The round dome, however, may need to be revised into a cylinder for ease in fabrication. I would either find a salt resistant commercial small upblast model to replace it, or get a new unit (or just a replacement shell) from Independent and hand it over to a sheet metal shop to duplicate it in stainless. Given the inconvenience of getting to it, a longer term solution should be the goal. kas

Wow--I've never heard of seconds! Do NOT get it from Homeclick. I got mine there. It has numerous defects-black pinprick on the front face, big white pimple on the top lip, one front corner 1/4 inch lower than other, and drain/logo reversed from how it is normally done (they put the logo on the opposite side due to all the defects I just listed, which then switched the drain side, IF one wanted the logo visible). It was too heavy to return, so I negotiated 10% off. Btw, I called Rohl, and they were most unhelpful. This was during the sink shortage, so maybe that had something to do with the disappointing customer service? They actually described all those problems as "possible" and within tolerances. Sure sounds like a "second" to me! But I've heard great things here about Home and Stone, and they are just as cheap as Homeclick (and free shipping, no tax).

This is a discussion forum and not customer service.
