Shimano Spheros....

I own a Spheros 8000 and I have had it since this past March. I have only fished the reel for about 15-20 times this year. A few weeks ago I noticed that the lower lip of the spool began to corrode and everytime I come home from fishing, I dip the reel over night in a bowl with soap and water to get the salt off my powerpro. No matter what, I began to notice that it's starting to spread . Luckily I called Shimano and they are sending me another spool(best customer service I ever experienced with fishing). My question is, what else can I do to reduce the chances of this h appening with the new spool that is comming? Is there other line that is just as good as powerpro that does not hold as much saltwater ? Anyone else have experiences? Did I get a bad egg?
