You've got to be kidding with that answer!?!? You have no business in a room where water chemistry is being talked about. 7.0 pH is neutral pH. It won't hurt anything.
On the other hand, the ASM Handbook points out that high TDS water through a heat exchanger will result in impingement and erosion corrosion, which is why all the heat exchangers have started failing since salt systems came along. It's probably the reason that somebody asked this question. And why pool heater warranties have plummeted from 5 years to 1 year since about 2004. What I coincidence! Huh? Imagine that...
Here's a link to the ASM Handbook where you can read all about these kinds of corrosion:

AnswerSalt water should not have any major effects on your pool Plumbing since the levels of salt are so minimal. The damaging effects to copper plumbing would be from acidic conditions - pH readings of 7.0 or lower and total alkalinity readings below 80 ppm.k

I have a swimming pool and is heated it has just been replaced with copper pipe I am worried about the chlorine water going through copper pipe and into the pool should i be worried about a reaction?
The only negative reaction you might have is from pool water being unbalanced. When the pH is low the water is corrosive and may cause damage to copper pipes. There are no "reactions" with chlorine.
Does homeowners cover burst water pipes and damage outdoors?
Burst water pipes and water heaters busting are covered for the damage caused inside the house if its sudden and accidental, but the pipe or water heater themselves are not covered as this is maintenance. This is generally not a problem as the damage is more severe than the piece of pipe. Outdoors is going to be more of a problem as the damage is nothing anyway. More information is needed to give you a complete answer. Are you talking about sprinkler system, pipes in a pool house for the pool, or other pipes. Cause is the issue in question as well.
What damage can a hard freeze do to an inground pool?
It can crack the pool and any pipes that has water in them that freeze. a way of protecting the pool is to float drums in a line along the middle of the pool there by leaving an unfrozen track along the middle into which the ice can expand. You should definitely empty the filter and exposed water pipes.
Do you shock the pool again to prevent green hair?
No; green hair is caused by copper pipes. Just rinse your hair in water that has not gone through the pool plumbing after swimming.
Should you insulate swimming pool pipes underground?
I see no reason why you would insulate them. When you close your pool for winter you will purge (empty) your pump and pipes. The water in the pool would freeze long before the water will in the pipes under ground.
Can you have too much water in you pool in the winter?
The general system ofreducing the water in the pool below the skimmer basket level is so that the filtration equipment and tubing can be drained. This averts the danger if the pipes freezing and other damage occurring as a result of frozen water in the filtration system.
What temp does pool pipes freeze?
Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (which is 0 degrees Celsius). The factors which might change the temperature at which your pool pipes may freeze are: - other materials (such as salt) which are dissolved in the water - the rate of flow (if any) of the water through the pipes - the pipe diameter - the insulating properties of the pipes themselves - whether the pipes are buried underground Good luck with your pool!
If you were to drain your pool for winterization would it damage it even if there is a hydrostatic valve?
I would NOT recommend leaving the pool drained all winter. If water froze in your hydrostatic relief pipes it could be the same as leaving them plugged. Further, moisture in the ground under the pool shell could freeze, expand, and "heave" the pool.
What about the pool anitfreeze which was put in the pipes when closing the pool Does this fileter into the pool water when opening the pool?
You should remove the antifreeze with a shop vac if possible, antifreeze will not hurt the water, but is just one more thing in the water that you do not need to be there.
How cold does it need to be to crack swimming pool PVC piping?
If water freezes it expands. so if the water on your pipes turn to ice 0c then you are in danger of cracking pipes.
Can Copper nitrate be used to kill algae in pool water?
3% or less copper. Silver kills bacteria, Copper kills algae
Why did we use aquaducts?
We still use aqueducts. Aqueducts are water pipes. We use water pipes to carry water to a place such as a farm field, a house, a swimming pool. The ancient peoples used aqueducts for he same purposes.
