Cheryl: Obviously there is something very wrong in your piping system to cause that much trouble. Perhaps some answers can be found by asking some questions about your home. How old is the home and whe did the first pin hole occur? Are you on a private well or is the water supplied by the municipality in whichyou live? Do you happen to know the pH of the water? Do you have a water softener in your home? Do you have any mechanical or electronic devices that require DC voltage from a rectifier or DC power supply or Large wet cell type battery(s)? Do you have a hard wired fire or home security system in your home? With a battery back-up power supply? Do any of your neighbors seem to be having similar problems with pin hole leaks or high amounts of copper in the potable water supply? Are there any Blue or Green stains noticable on any of your plumbing fixtures? Are the leaks primarily in the cold water lines or the hot? Please help give me some answers on what we can do. We have had 5 pin hole leaks in our copper pipes since September. I have asked plumbers in our area, we live in San Antonio, TX, about the product you recommend to help fix this product "______ Knight" and they all say they haven't heard of it. We can not afford to have our whole house's pipes rerouted. We need some advice. Thanks a bunch! Pin hole leaks in copper piping
