The connector above my water heater is dripping what looks like
green/white stuff around one of the connectors...

What is it? It looks kind of chemicalish, definitely does not look
like water. Will it eat away the pipe? What do I do?

The connectors on the cold water pipe also looks a little green, but
it does not leak at all. The water heater is about 15 years old..

thanks.

get an expert to assess your situation, it could be poison, check out
the data on copper pipes and "green stuff" at these links:

So are you recommending everyone pull out their copper pipes?

you appear to have a problem with comprehension (see below)

i recommend precisely what i wrote
"get an expert to assess your situation"



That green copper oxidation is normal

you have no basis for your statement, as you have not seen the "
green/white stuff " in question, indicative of someone who offers opinions
based on nothing, making you a person to avoid

but shouldn't be leaking from the pipes....just curious since you think
it is poisonous

nowhere did i say it is poisonous, i said "it could be poison"

due to your obvious problem with comprehension, coupled with your ability
to turn a keyboard into a time machine...

PLONK!


.....take care, Ross

learn to read

Gosh....be nice here....if you open up any copper pipe it is green....since
when is copper sulfate poison or poisonous since you draw a distinction...
Insulting will not make your original post correct but if it makes you feel
better .... more power to you...hmmm...Plonk....that's a trolls thing...so
have a nice day effi
