I wouldn't submerge that reel when cleaning it. Just a quick rinse at the most, or just a toweling down with a rag with some WD-40 or similar if it was a night where the reel didn't really get wet. Other then the drag the Spheros isn't waterproof so it may not respond real well to water on the inside, even if it's sweetwater. The submersion may even be contributing to the corrosion.
Sounds like you just got a bad spool though. Hopefully you'll make out better with the new one.
You could try something like Salt-X as well if you wanted.
