Copper pipe electrolysis often happens when stray direct current (DC) electricity causes the pipe to decompose. However, copper pipe electrolysis, also referred to as water line electrolysis, can also potentially be caused by many modern appliances. Appliances such as hairdryers , and other conditions as well, can cause water line leaks and pipe failure. Because copper is an excellent conductor of electricity, it will attract any stray electrical current in the vicinity.
