Hello, I've lurked from time to time but I'm a first time poster here so go easy on me if I violate any forum rules. I did search and didn't find any info about this.
I'm planning to put a hydronic towel warmer in my bathroom on an open loop system. The towel warmer is stainless steel so it should resist dezincification but I understand that dezincification is still a possibility and that manufacturers will not warrant against it.
How common is dezincification in this application and can anything be done to prevent it from happening?
If I get a leak from dezincification is there any way to repair it or does the towel warmer have to be replaced at that point?
I like the idea of having a towel warmer (electric warmer isn't feasible in this case) but not if the lifespan isn't loooooong as I would expect it to be since it has zero moving parts and zero electronics.
Thanks!
