   I thought of that, but was not sure its would stay working correctly.   
   Choice of materials and all that.   
      
   Found this:

   [1] the retaining bolt is in the water flow.  I wonder   
   is there is a corrosion problem?   
      
   [2] when installing the unit, how do you keep the   
   underside hardware from coming down on your head   
   until the retaining bolt is attached from above?
