Copper Pipes – Aggressive Water Conditions

Issue

Corrosion of water pipes was observed and the water had a metallic taste

Water Supply

Bore water

Action

The pH of the bore water was checked and found to be low (acidic).  The corrosion was exacerbated by the bore water going through a water softener.  Soft acidic water can cause corrosion.

Outcome

The water was buffered to reduce the aggressiveness of the water and corrosion of the copper pipes.
