    A galvanic Potential will exist between Silver and the following materials, it's unlikely your Silver will touch any of these but good to remember.....

    Silver as an Anode


    Dissimilar Cathode - (0.5V) Silver lead solder, (0.56V)Lead, Steel, (0.7V)Aluminium Alloys, (0.77V)Aluminium Cadmium, (0.77V)Galvanised Steel, (1.09V)Zinc Based Alloys, (1.11V)Zinc and (1.59V)Magnesium Alloy

    Galvanic Potential will cause corrosion over time

    Cheers Hiho

    Add US Government to the list - anything they touch seems to devalue itself overnight!

    Yes, the chloride is the nasty one here. Polyvinylchloride (PVC) over time leaves a green, adherent, acidic, sticky, slightly scummy, scuzz discoloration on silver.

    Note: some people claim that the gases aren't released from the pipe like from the soft flips that ruin coins YMMV.

    You may want to try ABS piping (ABS = Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) See example below:

    ABS is easier to glue, using a 1-step process vs the PVC 2-step process.

    It hurts them.

    Try garlic instead.

    I can think of a few reasons.... I'm curious to yours.

    Care to elaborate?
