Well, I have heard a hundred times that Oxyclean will damage copper. I want to see the proof. I prefer photos.
This topic has been tossed about, with a lot of people claiming that Oxy is really bad for copper. So what do I do? I use Oxyclean in my BK and let some copper tubing sit in the hot (150F) Oxy solution for about 45 minutes to simulate a typical wash cycle on my HERMS.
Guess what, it looks exactly the same as it did when it went in, my kettle looked A LOT cleaner though.
SO what gives? Is it REALLY bad for copper, or are people just repeating false information that they have heard, and passing it off as fact?
