Is it suitable to use galvanized pipes for tap water in daily life? Is it double-sided galvanized or single-sided galvanized? Is the zinc on the surface harmful to the human body? Is there a more suitable material?
Galvanized pipes tend to corrode and break through, so it’s better to use stainless steel instead! For the section leading into the house, CPVC pipes. If galvanizing, use double-sided galvanizing!
Previously, they were galvanized pipes; now they use PVC pipes
No, galvanized pipes are harmful to health
Galvanized pipes are no longer allowed for drinking water use~~ After being in use for a period of time, galvanized water supply pipes develop rust, which contaminates the water quality and poses a risk to human health~~
Many old buildings still use galvanized material, while new buildings mostly use PVC.
The internal piping in homes should now use PP-R; it is said that PVC can release harmful substances. The main pipes are probably made of PE, while galvanized pipes should no longer be used.
There are chloride ions in tap water, right? Stainless steel isn’t resistant to corrosion by chloride ions, is it?
