Copper Water Jug

[KQuillan]

I have a five-gallon jug I use strictly for Copper water. Can I now use this jug for RO or saltwater or do you think the copper has leached into the plastic?

Not sure if it can get into the plastic or not. Maybe run some cuprisorb in it to be safe? Most of the rock in my showcase tank was run through copper and removed with cuprisorb so it does work.

I expect it can be scrubbed clean, but getting a new one will be easier.
