I recently bought a home built in 1952 in Northern NJ. The city water is hard (ie white deposits on fixtures-shower roughness). I want to install a softener (I've done a few before). We prefer soft water too.
My question is that the 1/2 " copper pipes appear to be original with the house. Will a softener with 64 yr. old pipes cause any deterioration of the old copper?
#2 I also have a oil fired steam boiler (about a 10 yr. old unit) Will this cause any concern?
Thanks, Bill
