My guess is there's something more sinister going on. Copper pipes have been
used a long long long time in homes with water that is above 7 PH and the
plumping in them still exists after 80 years.

.hmmmph our well water ph here runs about 8-9 and will disolve a copper
pipe in a year or two
in 1999 they put in a new subdivision an school near here and have had
to replace all lthe copper pipes with pvc because of leaks, a real pain
when the pipes are in under a concrete slab
