Copper pipes
Nowadays, copper pipes are fitted at many points. Until just a while ago, copper pipes were considered to be the absolutely best water pipes. Copper pipes afford the advantage that they feature smooth inside surfaces, offering the scale a far smaller area of attack than iron pipes for instance. This results in far less encrustations in these pipes. However, copper pipes are not immune to corrosion either. Copper oxide may form, thus causing the pipes to emit copper oxide which, in large quantities, may even endanger health. Under unfavorable water conditions, this may even lead to greenish, discolored water.
Under normal conditions , Merus is capable of counteracting such corrosion processes and both stopping and reversing the build-up of scale.
