Ok, Corrosion class was forty years ago.
Does anyone know why some waters dissolve the zinc out of brass and otehr copper alloys, and some don’t.
I manage forty or so, very small water systems. On some systems the bronze/brass fittings for pex lines get buggy and fail. On others they do just fine with no issues.
I wold like to figure out what in the water chemistry is causing the problem so I can determine which systems need what fittings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
