I googled "zern" just to see what showed up and the first thing believe it or not is "Zurn Plumbing" and they are paying to have it show up there as it is a sponsored site.

Rick--
I did that also...and the first site that came up was "Zern's Farmer's Market." (Operating since 1922. A fine business, no doubt.)
Nonetheless, I hope you (and everyone else) can realize that I was not trying to be harsh. However, even if you can get to the website for Zurn through an improper spelling, how will that look to a client when they realize you spelled it incorrectly?

Google "Chevrolay' and see what happens. You will get car-related sites.

My point is that it's all a matter of professionalism. If you are going to call out a product by brand name, it's best to spell it correctly.

Sorry, Billy. Didn't mean to hijack your thread. As to your question, I wouldn't try to go into too much detail to explain Galvanic corrosion to a bunch of suits. Simply say that the connection did not have the proper dielectric fittings (they'll have to look that one up), it's corroded, it's under pressure, and a worsening of the corrosion will result in a leak...possibly a nasty one if no one is in the home to notice it when it happens. Maybe they'll understand. Even if they don't look up "dielectric."
