lmao I called this last night.
I would do it. Tritium is a low energy decay, and the amount of decays here is quite small.
The tritium in the water in question is currently at 60 decays per second.
Also when potassium-40 decays it releases about 100x the energy as a tritium decay. (~1.4 compared to ~0.018 MeV)

I don't know what any of this means but yeah! What this guy said!
