I've had a Portage and Maine stove installed since 2011. Their instructions say to use Wood Burning Furnace Water Treatment in the water at 1 gallon per 150 gallons of water. The stuff is made by Certified Laboratories. It says "severe irritant, harmful if swallowed".
I recently changed my plumbing and have lots of 3/4" PEX pipe, fittings, and valves left over. They had this solution going thru them for about 6 years. I would like to reuse some of this to plumb my domestic how water plumbing. I don't know if it's a concern that there is some residue of this chemical in it or not. My main concern is a mixing valve, these cost over $100 so I'd like to use this one instead of buy a new one.
Does anyone know anything about this chemical? Does it "hang around" in old pipes and fittings? Would it get flushed out quickly with potable water?
Thanks,
