I'm curious, does anyone know if there's any risk of leaching metals from a stainless steel pot if I use one of my stainless steel pots to treat my water's alkalinity with slaked lime? AJ? Martin? I don't taste any metal in the water, but it could obviously be below some threshold.
Slaked lime treatment in a stainless steel pot?

High pH does not leach metals. It causes metals to precipitate. If you had a very acidic solution, then you might worry. Acidic solutions are less of a concern with stainless, but aluminum and copper can be severely eroded by acidic solutions.
