I immediately checked our rural water analysis to find we essentially have
no copper in our system, or a negligible amount. We have a cousin who
recently returned from Europe with legionnaire's disease which, with other
complications, nearly killed her, so I'm not quite an complacent about the
possibilities as I was earlier. Our DHW is also our floor heating system.
It gets flushed during the summer with a switch of the water flow but I am
aware of potential problems nonetheless.
So curious what the above measures mean.
thanks, Sacie
