Asking for some help….
Would anyone be able to tell me what has caused the green corrosion on the pipe in the first photo?
This particular pipe leaked soon after the photo. The installers are saying it is caused by hard water.
But the pipe was installed 17mths before. In my view it is flux - from what I have learnt.
There are a lot of patches and spots of green on other pipes. I understand that the green is excessive flux from handling and tools, but the installers do not agree, although they cannot tell me what it is.
They have admitted that there is a lot of flux left on the pipes around the joins.
To me the green corrosion shown in the first photo looks the same as that in the other photos which is on the outside and therefore could not be hard water.
In my view it is odd that the leak is caused by hard water according to the installers, whereas all the other patches of corrosion can only be caused by flux.
These are just my views and I am grateful for any views and comments from those with experience.
