304 stainless corrosion rate in natural water is extremely low
When immersed in natural water (tap, river, sea, well, or rain) with sodium/potassium content per R&D Laboratory testing, austenitic 304 stainless steel corrodes no more than 0.0007 inches per year; with exposure to oxygen or hydrogen atoms in the water, corrosion is no more than 0.0001 inches per year.
