The Chlorine dissolves the Zinc and then the left over copper is spongy.

Think sinks that were brass - the brass stems that held the washer often
fractured and cracked and was replaced. The seats were replaceable.

Nowadays the new fangled sinks don't have washers. Such an easy life.

Hi Richard,

Don't use brass in a swimming pool.

Why not?

I don't have a swimming pool but would like to log it for future
reference.
