Hey everyone...spring is close hope everyone else has the bug.

I installed a water heating system last fall into the barn I am restoring. I used Thermopex tubing and copper for my manifold and baseboards. I have a weil-mclain propane boiler as well. The day, night after I fired it up I went and looked at my lines downstairs and they were starting to turn black. I also notices there were little spots here and there that were darker than others and were located where it looks like the coating had been knicked. I know oxygen in the system is not good and I drained the water some to see if it was black but its clear. The lines haven't gotten any worse and are a very dark grey almost black color now. This is all on the inside of the lines just to clarify.
