There are a dozen water additives that claim to prevent corrosion, but many of them just fight fire with fire by pre-corroding the metal.

Has anyone considered adding a chemical to the water that bonds with oxygen? I tried to find such a chemical online, but was deluged with millions of links to medications and herbal crap.

Point is to dump in some antioxidant, then seal the system nice and tight. No oxygen, no corrosion. (Barring some electrolytic reactions) It should work for a while, and the occasional flush and refill will replenish it.
