Hello
Answer
Copper does not react with water water , cold water or steam whereas iron reacts with them. If the hot water tanks are made up of iron [ an alloy of iron] , then iron would react vigorously react with the steam which was formed from the hot water. so the hot water tanks are made by copper not by steel.
Hope it helps you
