Cuplex kryos silver edition : is possible that the silver corrodes the nickel?

Montag, 12. November 2012, 13:51

Hi,I'm a proud owner of an kryos silver edition. but I have a problem: while the block is working fine , in my loop immediately after the kryos I have an EK ram block nickel plated:and this block at the entrance,the nickel has corroded/flacking big time ,toghether with it's fitting:a bitspower elbow this also nickel plated.the nozzle part of the fitting has practically disappeared

so I know ,if I ask EKWB ,they will undoubtedly blame the silver kryos...and since there are not a lot of silver blocks out there ,I would like to have your opinion about this ,is the bad nickel,or really the silver could provoke such a reaction?
what can I do to prevent this in the future?
in my loop I used only the premixed cooland from EKWB .the copper top of the Kryos,and two aquaero 5 block were also nickel plated,not by EKWB with it's new EN plating,but by a guy near my house,and these pieces are still spotless.

btw.about the kryos;what product do you reccomend to clean the silver micropins? currently I use a soft toothbrush and dishwasher,but some very small black stains do not come out...

thanks.

I know that when using nickel plated blocks alot of manufactures recommend avoiding silver. On the otherhand EK seems to have had some plating issues see thread linked below

EK's written response c/p from their site

Halt on EK Nickel Plated blocks

Dear EK partner/user,
As EK is looking for lasting solution for nickel plating issue (concerning corrosion because of silver coils and copper sulphate additive) we decided to halt sales of nickel plated products till solution is found and tested. Our resellers were advised to halt sales too.

We cannot put users into position, that we replace products and corrosion starts again on new product. Hopefully we will find an answer and tested solution in short while.
We will update you as soon as we have any news.
However, If customer insists on buying EK nickel block, we offer a customer full 24 month warranty on material, manufacturing and corrosion.

We sell silver blocks since several years now and never had any serious problems here. Also the cuplex kryos XT uses a nickel plated top and is available with a silver base - also no problems here so far.
