My d4 pump impeller is perfect - apart from the chip of the annodising that was there when it was new..... and I would assume that impellers would be the first thing to go.. if theres no contact of course..
The D4 impeller and body is made from passivised 304 stainless steel, which is not galvanically reactive with copper or silver. Passivised 304/316 SS sits about mid-way between copper and silver on the galvanic reactivity scale. It is about as reactive with either silver or copper, as brass is with copper.
