LakeEze In Saltwater Conditions - Protecting Your Lake Gear

Whether you’re lounging on the dock, diving into clear blue waters, or enjoying a sunset cruise, every moment spent on the water is an opportunity to create unforgettable memories with your LakeEze gear. But, if you’re using your LakeEze in saltwater conditions, brackish environments, or even chlorinated pools, there’s a hidden threat that could dampen your gear’s lifespan: corrosion. While our products are built tough with marine-grade aluminum, saltwater can still quicken wear & tear. That’s why we recommend adding a little extra protection with our Zinc/Saltwater Add-on Kit. Discover how this simple solution can shield your accessories from saltwater’s relentless effects and keep your lake life adventures going strong for years to come.

Why Having LakeEze in Saltwater Conditions Warrants Extra Protection?

Saltwater might be great for swimming, but it’s relentless when it comes to metal corrosion. Even our high-quality, marine-grade aluminum can fall victim to saltwater’s corrosive nature over time. This can lead to weakened structures, compromised functionality, and a less-than-stellar appearance. When you’re using LakeEze in saltwater conditions, you might run into:

  • Speedy corrosion: The salt and minerals in seawater speed up the oxidation process, causing metal to deteriorate faster than in freshwater. So, if you have your LakeEze dock ladders and swim stools in the briny water, these need extra protection.

  • Electrical conductivity: Saltwater is an excellent conductor of electricity, which can enhance galvanic corrosion between different metals.

  • Constant exposure: Unlike freshwater lakes, saltwater environments maintain a consistent level of salinity, meaning your accessories are continuously exposed to corrosive elements.

  • Temperature fluctuations: Coastal areas often experience significant temperature changes, which can cause expansion and contraction of materials, potentially creating weak points for corrosion to take hold.

  • Abrasive action: Sand and other particles in saltwater can act like sandpaper, wearing away protective coatings and exposing bare metal to corrosive elements.

These factors combine to create a particularly harsh environment for metal accessories. That's why we've developed our Zinc/Saltwater Add-on Kit to combat these challenges and keep your LakeEze gear performing at its best.
