Just tell your wife that having a tank teaches you all sorts of new DIY skills...which will save lots of money around the house...so you can buy more stuff for your tank...so you can learn more skills...

Re: Copper Plumbing
I have a house with Copper, and I have had no issues. Just make sure to use a good RO/DI.

Re: Copper Plumbing
No problems and nothing special to do. Just make sure to not use copper plumbing for the tank itself.
