Why doesn't quality copper plumbing produce a copper green color?

With the improvement of people's quality of life, we have higher and higher requirements for domestic water, attaches great importance to health and harmless, so copper water pipe is more and more favored by the majority of users.
Copper water pipe has excellent physical stability, high temperature, low temperature, corrosion resistance, strong pressure resistance, not easy to deformation and many other advantages, but also has other pipe does not have the ability to kill bacteria, can kill nearly 99% of the bacteria in the water pipe, can be said to be the ultimate choice of home water supply system.
Copper water pipe is so good, the market has ulterior motives but always take the copper will produce copper green, copper green for the human body has a great harm to say things, then we will talk about these fallacies, so that it does not break.
Copper can not produce copper green first copper element is extremely stable inactive elements, which can become the casting of currency materials. Copper green is the product of the chemical reaction between the copper surface and the outside world, to generate copper green in the inner wall of the water pipe need to have two stages of reaction:
The first stage to generate copper oxide in the inner wall of the copper pipe, which requires copper and air oxygen, carbon dioxide and other gases and water for a long time in contact in order to generate copper oxide, and our daily use of water pipes, oxygen, carbon dioxide content is very small, so this reaction conditions can not reach, it is extremely difficult to form copper oxide.
Then, the first stage is so difficult to reach, the second stage of the reaction to produce copper green is basically to eliminate the last possibility of producing copper green, if there are copper oxides he also needs to be in the atmosphere with sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide and copper oxides in the surface of the formation of complex salts, which ultimately formed our so-called copper green, and our daily use of water basically does not contain sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, so this stage of the reaction is not possible to complete. So this stage of the reaction can not be completed. At the same time, copper itself with a positive electron, it is impossible to replace the same with the water with a positive electron hydrogen, but also completely cut off the formation of copper green hope, the conclusion is that the copper green in the copper water pipe is almost impossible to generate.
