I'm putting a dump valve into the new water injection system so I can flush it with out having to inject water into the engine. Then the only thing I would have to worry about would be the nozzles, which still looked as new as the day I bought them after months of use.

I see no sign of mineral problem now, any time soon or years from now.
That was kind of the entire point of running the test system, use it for 6 months and tear it down and inspect for material and component defficiencies.
So far it looks like everything I used is up to the task, considering all the major componets were bench tested for a week before installing and are made from brass, stainless steel, synthetic rubber or plastic its no surprize.
