Using Copper Air Manifold

[piranhaman00]

Hello,

I am attempting to run a large air pump outside and into my sump. The included manifold contains copper for the valves. I can’t imagine this is problematic but thought I would ask. Any chemical way the copper could leach into the water?

To be clear the manifold will be out of the water of course and only air is being pumped through it. @Randy Holmes-Farley

I would use it but would also monitor it for corrosion. How far is it from the sump?

I would not use it out of an abundance of caution. High humidity days and differing temps could cause condensation in the lines. That condensation then could be pulled to the manifold and the tank. Though this may be rare.
