The amount of copper inside a hot water heater varies depending on the size and design of the unit. Typically, copper is used in the construction of the heat exchanger, pipes, and tubing within a hot water heater. Small residential units may contain a few pounds, while larger commercial units can have several pounds of copper components.
"How much" as a question is quite vague. Some hot water heaters are comprised of copper only. So this now depends on the size of the hot water heater. Some hot water heaters have no copper whatsoever.
To prepare a saturated solution of copper sulfate at 20 degrees Celsius, you would need to dissolve approximately 203 grams of copper sulfate in 400 grams of water. This is based on the solubility of copper sulfate in water at that temperature.
You can boil the solution and collect and condense the water vapor until all of the water is gone. That will leave you with the solid copper sulphate. You will have to let the copper sulphate dry to remove all of the water.
Well, isn't that a lovely question! The amount of copper sulfate that water can dissolve depends on various factors like temperature and pressure. Generally, water can dissolve about 203 grams of copper sulfate per liter at room temperature. Just like painting, it's all about finding the right balance and letting things blend harmoniously.
Over use of copper based algaecides tends to cause the pools grout and other surfases to get a blue green tinge. You also should refer to salt water chlorinator specs before using them in salt water pools.
It can maintain the cooling temperature of water and 80% of copper is available.

If you are talking water heater, they are made of steel. If talking storage tanks, copper lasts much longer than steel. Will not rust.
A tankless water heater uses less electricity compared to a traditional water heater because it only heats water when needed, whereas a traditional water heater continuously heats and stores water.
A tankless water heater is much more efficient as it "flash" heats the water.
The installation of a solar water heater will cost between $250-500.
None.
Since you cannot remove the "stains" with the methods you have tried perhaps the stains are from too much acid or high acid levels. Are there also copper colored stains as well? Do you have a pool heater in the system? If so, then it is copper stains from an acidic pool water. The over acid conditions are stripping the copper from the heater copper tubing. k
You constantly need hot water
Copper stays where you put it much better than saline water does.
Yes. It connects to the inside of the tank, where the hot water is. Heat from the hot water will heat the vent pipe by conduction. The top end should be much warmer than the bottom end, near the floor or outlet.
It depends on what is broken on your water heater, as to how much it would cost to fix it. It might actually need to be replaced and be more cost effective to replace it.
