Water softener, has galvanized pipes, used flexible with brass fittings, galvanic reaction problem? galvanized pipe to the water softener and I use stainless steel braided flexible hose with bronze fittings (I think) will be galvanic reaction problem (2 dissimiliar metals and salt water)
Two solutions:
- Use dielectric unions between the pipe and galvanized iron pipes, stainless steel
- Use a 6 "(or more) hard copper pipe nipple between the pipe and galvanized iron pipes SS.
