    I mix IO salt with water from the tap that comes through copper :eek: :argue::dizzy2::dead::finger1::bomb::end: pipes in my house.
    Seriously, copper pipes aren't the end of the world, but I'll update that after another 6 months. It's not anything as near as concentrated as like treating with copper based medications.

    remember that copper doesn't evap with water meaning that every time you top off you are increasing the amount of copper in your system. If you run carbon, that may get some of it but not much.
