I have to do some supply piping at a tree nursery. They inject sulfuric acid into the water that feeds the trees. How will that play with copper?

Thanks guys.
The dilution ratio is 1 part sulfuric acid to 1,280 parts water. The main purpose is to lower the PH of alkaline water.

Thanks for your advice. I think I will go with type-l copper and propress. From everything I'm seeing and hearing, I should be fine.0
