Steel fasteners for use in Aquatic centers

[cjholl0]

I'm hoping to get some help on the selection of fasteners for use in aquatic centers. We currently use standard grade 8 bolts for our products which hang overhead. We don't have much experience with customers using them in aquatic centers but one concern I have is the effect of chloramine on the fasteners, especially over time. Does anyone have any experience with this type of situation, or could anyone recommend a fastener, comparable in strength to grade 8 that is chloramine resisitant. Thanks in advance!

I believe that NiDI also has a publication on such usage.
