          1- Poor Design

          2- Poor workmanship in installation

          3- Excessive velocity ESPECIALLY on water over 180 degrees should be liminted to no more then 2-3 FPS

          4- Hard water

          5- acidic water

          6- Using a self cleaning (ACID TYPE) flux and not properly flushing it out (See 2)

          7- Non reaming of tubing ends causing turbulent flow (see 2

          8- Under sized piping (see 1)

          9- Chemicals added to water supply
