Just giving everyone a heads up here , you are likely going to see a large price increase on salt cells sooner rather than later. The price of Ruthenium which is the main precious material coated on to the titanium plates has seen a price increase of 400% over the past 9 months. The other mineral, Iridium ,has gone up by 40%. It's entirely possibly you could see retail prices increasing 50-100% soon. Depends on everybody's inventory levels and/or how much cost sellers what to absorb . All manufacturers are going to have this issue.
Ruthenium is mainly used by capacitor and hard disk drive manufacturers who get very skittish when they sense a supply shortage and tend to try and corner the market so they have the necessary supply for their products.
