Title: Corrosive Well Water
Post by: Blackcraft on December 02, 2011, 04:56:47 PM

Our area is plagued with corrosive well water which destroys copper and other metallic pipes.  Most of the plumbing is cpvc for this reason.  I would like to install a pside-kick on one or two of our projects and see how it performs.  Does a CSV add another component that I would need to worry about failing due to corrosion?  What do you suggest to best resist the corrosion problem?
Thanks in advance.

If the water will eat copper, it will probably work on the low lead brass as well.  We can use one of the CSV1 plastic valves and make a manifold out of PVC.  We do this a lot for RO and DI water so I am sure it would work in your water as well.
