  • If using copper or other alloys that may contact produce or produce water, avoid using with acidic foods with a pH lower than 6.0.
  • Avoid acidic and strongly alkaline cleaners.
  • Slightly alkaline detergents containing silicates are recommended to minimize the corrosive effect. Exposure to chlorine will cause some corrosion.
