Salt Encrusted Phone Block Picture! - For the guys on comp.

[Lizard Blizzard]

Check out the picture on alt.binaries.schematics.electronic newsgroup
with the same subject as above. The only thing I can figure is that the
swimming pool pump room is letting chlorine or salt get into the
underground pipes and it's getting into the wires. I stripped back a
few inches of the salt encrusted wire and it just dripped water. Like
it's being sucked up by capillary action. EWWWWW!

Yeah, but was that really salt? Did you taste it

Isn't salt really Calcium Chloride - that would explain it. There's
chlorine leaching into the line somehow, probably from the water that's
in it.

Table salt is Sodium Chloride. Calcium Chloride is one of many compounds that
can be called a "salt".

"Table" salt is *Sodium* Chloride. Still hygroscopic, but not as much.

No. Salt is sodium chloride, though use can also use potasium chloride if
you're on a low sodium diet.

Calcium chloride is often used for melting ice, because it's less harmful to
concrete, than sodium chloride.

Ok, that's it. I got my Sodium/Calcium mixed up. But there's a potential
there for ground salts getting picked up and when mixed with the
chlorine would cause said crystallization to happen.

Nope, sodium chloride.

Calcium chloride tastes HORRIBLE!
