Are you SURE about that??? I personally do not use Plexiglas reservoirs but I know several people who do, one of which is an experienced water cooler who has built many custom reservoirs. He is the one that first alerted me to the potential problem with acrylic (Plexiglas) and WW.
I am guessing (until I can get confirmation) that the Di and Tri Isopropyl Alcohol Ethers that are used in Water Wetter to increase the boiling point and suppress the freezing point of water may be leaching out the plastisizers in the acrylic plastic over time.
