Copper Water Line
Have to replace water line to house due to original black pvc cracking twice in the last 6 months.Was told to replace with copper tubing.Will this affect water to RO/DI for use in tanks?

No. Every where I have lived has copper pipe through the house. It is only a problem when it comes in contact with salt water. For house plumming, you are better off with copper pipping.

As long as you do not have any copper after the RO/DI system it will not be a problem. The filters will catch any copper. I have copper pipes and do not have a problem with my RO/DI water.
