In general, corrosion is the result of water with a low pH (below 7.0). Such acidic waters have lots of hydrogen ions in the water to react with the electrons at the cathode, so corrosion in metal pipes and fixtures is enhanced. Acid water can often be identified by a sour taste, and it will also dry your skin and hair.

How do you get rust off a sewer pipe plug?

What is piped water?
A bong or a water pipe is a special pipe. When a person smokes with a bong, they pull the smoke through the water in it. This makes the smoke not as hot. Most often, either tobacco or cannabis are smoked with it
Why does iron pipes rust more quickly in clay than shellow trench of sand?
The most common form of sand is SO2, silicon dioxide, also known as silica. SO2 is able to absorb water molecules, reducing the amount of water that reaches the iron pipe. less water reaching the pipe means there will be less water rusting the pipe
What is the best way to unclog drains of pet hair?
The best way that you can go about unclogging your drains if they are full of pet hair would be to invest in a substance such as draino, and pour the acidic solution down the pipe.
When a magnet is dropped in a non ferrous pipe why does it not stop?
Unless a magnet dropped in a non-ferrous pipe is stopped by some imperfection in the pipe surface itself, it will not be stopped because a non-ferrous surface will not cause a magnet to cling to it.
What is a water main?
a water main is the main pipe that the city and towns use to move water from place to place. its the main pipe, so if this pipe breaks it can effect a lot of people

If you have a 40 gpm pump delivering water through a 1 and a half inch pipe how high will the flow rise?
When pushing water through "rural class B poly pipe" The maximum flow you can achieve is 80lpm. However if you have the pipe running for 100m in length you loose 30lpm through friction loss. So at the end of the 100meter pipe you would only achieve 50lpm.
Is galvanized pipe ferrous or non ferrous?
Galvanization usually refers to a thin coating of zinc applied mechanically or (usually) electrolytically to steel or cast iron pipework, as a protective coating against rust. Iron and steel (an alloy of iron with carbon and other materials) are ferrous. Overall galvanized pipework is ferrous. The zinc coating is not. Similarly, any coating of paint or rubber doesn't alter the underlying ferrous nature of iron pipe.
What is ferrous piping?
Any piping containing Iron, usually Cast Iron, Steel & Galvanized pipe.
A structure like a bridge that was designed to transport water?
You are thinking of an above the ground aqueduct. They were, in effect, a bridge for a water pipe.
When the second pump which is designed for spa whirlpool effect feature only is turned on the spa is draining water through the vent pipe How can you stop this?
If by vent pipe you mean the venturi pipe it sounds as if it is plumbed backwards, in a spa jet you have 2 feed conections, one for water (the bottom pipe) and another for air (top pipe) if plumbed incorrectly water will back up out the venturi line (vent pipe)
What is the effect of UV radiation of sun on PVC pipes and how to protect the pipe from the UV radiation?
The only effect the sun has on PVC pipes is the impact strength of the pipe will be decreased and there will be some discoloration. The tensile strength and pressure strength of the pipe will not be effected. The best way to protect the pipe is to paint it with a water based latex light colored paint.
What is the effect of water pressure at the pipe joints?
Water constantly exerts pressure on pipe joints. I have seen old soldered joints flying apart when subjected to extreme pressure or trains passing nearby. This sometimes happens with plastic pipe also if joints are not thoroughly set .
Hot water pipe or cold water pipe which will rust first?
Hot water pipe rust first as compared to the cold water pipe for the same chemical composition of the water.
How do replace sewer clay pipe?
By replacing the piping using either Cast Iron of one of the non ferrous systems available
