| We have a pipe that sprung a leak upstream from a new water softener. Could there be something about the water softener that contributed to the leak? |

| Is it a pinhole leak caused by acidic water, or a leak on a newly installed pipe? |

| Our water is alkaline Colorado River water. The leak is on the old pipe, not the new pipe. Yes, it is a pinhole. |

| Upstream means before the conditioner. Maybe you mean downstream, after it. Pinholes don't just develop overnight. Probably just a coincidence. I would repost the question with "water softener" in the subject line. |
