    It's similar, but all copper. Bad water down here in south Texas clog it up with scale.

    I wonder if it's really worth it. How many years to bad scaling?

    Up here, water condenser coils perforate in 5 to 7 years.

    I flush them all the time. I have a bucket with various hoses, fittings and a pump. I use it to flush tankless WH's too.
