I've been doing this for a good while with the G5, and it's really no problem at all. Hell, it's even been months since I've done a complete flushing, and I haven't seen any evidence of organic nasties.

Lovely point, phide.
Silver
is higher in anti-microbial properties, though it is important to mention; Silver is the only metal more electrically conductive than copper!
