Does Copper Evaporate?

Just thinking, when I top off water to my QT, that has copper in it, does my copper deplete by evaporation, or does it stay like salt?:dontknow:

Stays like salt.
only thing that leaves is the H2O itself

One way to purify water is to boil it, the evaporated water is completely pure. Copper stays, agree with the last post.

I hear copper stays FOREVERRRRR. That's why it isn't a good idea to convert a fresh water tank into a salt one....unless, it was yours and you know it didn't have copper.

I believe you only really get copper from using the HOT water due to the copper piping but not from using the cold water even though its still coppper. Also wouldnt running activated carbon remove this? When I filled my freshwater tank from the faucet I never had issues with copper (no snail or invert deaths). Then again I only ran the cold water and used a heater to bring the water temp up to target.

I have a client who used copper in his tank about 5 months ago....tested today and there are no traces of it. His tank was never treated either. None at all

TapTalk....bleh!
