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".
More about me:
Stanley settled back into the couch, and COTTP said to him:
"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!
