SeaFish Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 is this test by this company reliable? i use ""RED SEA"" mini lab test everytime i do water changes to make sure the water i use are copper free. I was wondering is this mini test accurate enough? also, if distilled water were made by copper tubing will this trace of copper be detected in this test kit? Link to comment
Physh1 Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 I've found their copper kit to be ok. If water is running through copper pipes you should only get cold water out of it for your tanks. Warm or hot water can cause the copper to leach into the water but cold water will not cause this to occur. You should not see any visible copper in your tests. Remember, there are traces of copper in sw......it's very low though and not harmfull....any thing you register on kits is bad for reefs and inverts. Cameron Link to comment

Physh1 Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 You won't have any trouble with the actual bottled waters. I figured you were making your own water with a home unit or something. Most bottled water is filtered through Reverse Osmosis and DeIonization filters. They use no copper pipes at all.....mostly PVC or something safe like that. Cameron Link to comment
