Thermostat question

Ferm,I agree with you 100 percent but I usually change them every year ,but is that nessasary ? So what I did this year is soak them in fresh water and soap, brushed them clean just toget the salt crud off and reuse them and honestly they seem to work better. I feel the salt crust that forms on them restricts them some how ,so I cleaned them and one of the rubber seals was cut and I always save parts and happened to have one so I changed that I not think I would have a problem if I used it in fresh water but salt forgettaboutit.
