Why 304/316 Stainless Steel is a Premium Material
Stainless steel is a superior material compared to cast iron for submerged water control applications, especially in brackish water environments due to its corrosion resistance, robust strength, and reliability. Cast iron is prone to rust and degradation when exposed to water over time. Additionally, stainless steel equipment is significantly easier manufacture and customize compared to cast iron, due to the need for expensive dyes for every customization when casting iron. For applications requiring strength, longevity, and corrosion resistance, stainless steel outperforms cast iron as a superior material for precise water management.
