Theres a high probabilty is cannot be used. Other than factors due to its cost, it is a rather reactive metal and may be vulnerable to corrosion.
Yes, it would matter if calcium was used to make water pipes. Calcium can react with water to form calcium carbonate, a compound that can deposit on the inner walls of the pipes and reduce water flow. Over time, this buildup can lead to clogging and reduced water pressure.
Calcium is not used as water pipes because it is a very reactive metal that easily forms compounds with oxygen and water, leading to corrosion. This corrosion can weaken the pipes and contaminate the water passing through. Therefore, materials like copper, PVC, or galvanized steel are commonly used for water pipes instead.

Calcium is used in the body to make the bones hard and strong.
Calcium and its compounds are commonly used in various applications such as building materials (calcium carbonate in cement), agriculture (calcium oxide in soil pH adjustment), health supplements (calcium carbonate for bone health), and as a reducing agent in metallurgy (calcium in aluminum production).
Unplasticised PVC, usually called uPVC, is used to make pipes and window frames.
The calcium salt of the acid used and carbon dioxide.
Calcium is quite reactive
milk, and strong bones:)
Copper pipes are now most commonly used in plumbing. Lead pipes were used long ago, and the word plumbing is derived from the Latin word for lead (plumbum). Iron pipes were used until relatively inexpensive copper pipes became readily available during the twentieth century.
We usually don't find nickel pipes, as in pipes made of nickel metal. We do find that nickel is added to other metal(s) to make an alloy that can be used to make different kinds of pipe. Nickel is added to steel alloys to make different kinds of steel pipe, and these pipes find use in a variety of applications.
No, pipes are made of PVC. Whirley hospital mugs are made from polypropylene.
