I watched a documentry on shipwrecks a while back and they were talking about a wreck some 200 yrs old and they found the copper nails that held the ship together and they were ok, been in the ocean for over 2 centuries ( mind you, I think they held the ship together, then again, maybe they didn't , maybe thats why it sank :laughing-rolling: )
Its the other components that ain't copper that worries me ! :think:

I would clean all component well with potable water after each use to stop salt residue after drying

i have a few times with no drama. personally i don't think you would have a long term issue using the pool water

if you said you had 30meters of copper or something you might be increasing copper in the pool but jut a liebig etc would do nothing
