copper contaminated water
Hello,
I would like to start using condensation water of my air condition unit. I know the pipes are made of copper and I know that in theory this is bad for the plants however I was wondering how much copper actually goes into the water and is it really at high enough level to cause damage. So here is the question – Has anyone tried using condensed water out of copper pipes and what was the result? Regards Gal |

copper contaminated water
Most of the condensation comes from the fins attached to the copper pipe
that contains the refrigerant, and most of the time, they're aluminum. There can be aluminum toxicity in plants, but I believe that depends on the pH of the solution being way off from where we use it for plants. -- Ray Barkalow First Rays Orchids http://www.firstrays.com Secure Online Ordering & Lots of Free Info!
