A proper water conditioner also
plays a role in reducing the risk of pinhole leaks in copper plumbing.
“Polyps” (the yellow cake stuff on the pipe to the right below) form on the interior of copper pipe walls, creating active
sites that attract chloramines and create excessive turbulence resulting
in an attack on the copper.

The catalytic conditioner not only stops
the growth of the polyps, but it has a detergent action, which draws
existing polyps back into solution (effectively dissolving them).
|
This is the water conditioner core. These are highly effective. |

Great videos all about how water conditioners work and how they compare to water softeners. And how they help with removing pinhole leaks in copper plumbing. They are part of the equation because hard water helps make pinholes along with chloramines.

There is an epidemic of
pinhole leaks in southern California,
prominent in San Clemente (Talega), Ladera Ranch, Laguna Niguel, Aliso
Viejo, and most recently Newport Coast. Communities served by Moutlon
Niguel, Rancho Santa Margarita, and Irvine Ranch Water Districts Have
been plagued with leaks, primarily blamed on the water imported from
Metropolitan Water District.
