There probably is fact behind the "corrosive" claim. Since there is zero limestone in most of MA, there is nothing to neutralize acidity. And, there is constant exchange through the glacial soil/gravel between surface and subsurface water. Stony Brook, which ran through our back yard in MA (and which forms Stony Brook Nature Preserve a couple of miles downstream) was strongly acidic. I built a "live box" of heavy, galvanized hardware cloth for keeping fish alive in the stream overnight -- when I came in too late (or too "beat") from fishing to feel like cleaning them that night. After a couple of months in the stream, the thing completely fell apart... That's what I call, "corrosive"! And even the town-supplied water would destroy a hot water-dispensing faucet in just about a year... But, like "global warming", the effect is natural -- not human-caused. There simply is no natural mechanism available to balance the pH..

You were doing fine until the last line, and now you are in hot water. Please report to your nearest reeducation center...

That's OK. There will be a plethora of carcasses on the ground before the Gorebull Wahrumists succeed in dragging this physical chemist even one nanometer toward acceptance of their idiotic and criminal position.
