I agree that the PCV pipes are a good way to go. I have never experienced any detectable outgassing with these pipes. But they will break when they freeze, I had to replace 6 or 7 of them last winter when a gas line broke and the heat in the pump house went out without me knowing it. > > If you spring for teflon, that's about as inert and tough as it gets...but > pricy.

So, eventually back to plain copper... along with a dead tank. The silver should be inert. Not much is going to react with it, but it could kill bacteria on contact, and prevent any bacteria growth inside the pipes. I would not expect any of it to react or dissolve unless the water is very acidic.
