PVC Pipe Easy To Install And Affordable?
Using PVC pipe is more affordable than using traditional metal pipes. It is easier to work with because it is lighter. A special glue holds pieces together to prevent leaks. If you have hard water, the minerals can attach to metal pipes. Over time, they can build up and clog pipes. This leads to poor water pressure and, eventually, the pipe will become blocked. Minerals do not build up in PVC like they do in metal pipes, making PVC a great option for homes with high lime and calcium contents in the water.
