is if safe to use a brass fitting on my plumbing that is only used for transferring fresh water from its container to the tank? If not then why? The way i see it, its no different that water passing through our copper pipes and we use that water to make saltwater.
 
If you're talking tap water, then no problem.

If you're talking ultra-pure, zero-TDS product water, then no. This will dissolve the brass.
 
Why will it do that
 

WHAT KIND OF SUBSTRATE ARE YOU RUNNING ON YOUR TANK?
