Question:

will saltwater ruin copper pipes?

if you have saltwater wither running threw or surrounding copper piping will it corrode it?

Answer:

Perhaps the difference of opinion is because ocean water has lots of other chemicals, and extremely pure salt and water are much more expensive. Trace amounts of copper chloride likely are not harmful to humans, who won't be drinking salt water. Neil
