Yep its a BIG concern! it will corrode Copper RAPIDLY.. you can tell cause Cu Oxide is water soluble so it coats yer lines with a green gunk. Al is not water soluble but will corrode none the less. Brass will turn black.

Use water wetter and that stops or greatly reduces the amount of corrosion that happens.

Was that directed to me? or were you saying well? I don't know too much about the watercooling goodness yet, I am a semi-newbie to the goodness of H20 ...

If that was not directed to me please ignore this.
