Simply tell them that are known problems with Zurn fitings and refer them to this website:

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

- John Stuart Mill

A water test is a good recommendation since these fittings are really only an issue with certain types of agressive water.

I had some of these Zurn fittings just on a thermal expansion tank installation and replaced them a few years ago. The seven year old fittings showed no issues internally.
I do have very good well water though.
