Why do we not use lead today instead we use copper?

For transporting water? Because lead will dissolve very slightly in water, and lead is fairly toxic. Copper is more durable, and doesn't dissolve. The Romans used lead, which they called "plumbum", because lead is soft and malleable; you could pound the ceramic tiles into lead to get a watertight seal. Please notice the Latin word for lead; "plumbum", from which we get the word "plumbing" to mean water handling mechanisms.

Are no lead water pipes less quality than pipes containing lead?

Lead was used for water pipes because it is cheaper, more malleable, and more flexible, and can be welded together easily. But it should not be used for water pipes of any kind because of the risk of water contamination. Metals such as copper are more expensive but superior in performance, and modern PVC is much lighter and easier to use for drainage pipes, and for pipes not carrying great pressure.


Is water more dense than copper sulfate?
