grs reactor

hi guys, i brought a double brs reactor today and realized that there is stainless steal screws on the inside of the pressure release which will come in contact with salt water will this affect my water when it rusts or am i over thinking it?

I'm not sure what your talking about with the pressure release but I have a BRS reactor and no metal contacts the water anywhere.

there's a screw that go's through the inside of the top to a red button on the outside of the top which i think is a pressure release if that makes any sense to you.

Is that on the black one? I have the cheaper white one. But no it will not contact the water at all. BRS wouldn't sell it if there were that kind of risk.

I suspect the screw is likely titanium
