Hi Everyone,
I have spent a *fair* amount of time trying to decipher the validity of whether or not non conductive fluids will short out components it comes in contact with in the event of a leak.
There are many people that claim *yes* you'll be fine with a leak, while the other camp states *no* this is not safe, since even distilled water going through your loop flowing across your blocks, will pick up contaminants from the metals they are manufactured from.
I'm sure this debate has raged on for many years. So, is there any *factual* testing or other information I can look at that will dictate if this is fact or fiction? I do not have the knowledge to honestly say one way or another, but if it is a myth, I'd sure like to have the information to *bust it*
Thank you
