before you do that record your temps... then add the rl/pi to the water and record your temps once a day for the next few days
and most importantly record the ambient =)

Well it would take years to eat through the block. I ran a Al block for a year and it didn't even scratch the surface hardly with the same city tap water. It got the same black coating but it wasn't eating away the metal.
This is my test block so I monitor temps constantly. Temps have not changed nor have they changed for the other one I ran for a year. Ran the same temp from begining to end. I have never had a block raise in temps over time no matter what was in there.
This stuff just scratches off with the gratest of ease so I really am not worried about it. Dosn't act like it is corrosion but more like minerals/crap from the water. Corosion for AL should be white anyway.
I am not even remotely concerned about it. After this Sunday I will have one block on for several months while I am working so I will show the results after a few months of use with the tap water.
