Why are water pipes galvanized?
Water pipes are galvanized to prevent corrosion and extend their lifespan. The galvanization process involves coating the steel or iron pipes with a layer of zinc, which acts as a barrier against moisture and environmental elements. This protective layer helps reduce rust formation and maintains the integrity of the pipes, ensuring safe and reliable water delivery. Additionally, galvanized pipes can withstand high pressure, making them suitable for various plumbing applications.

Do galvanized pipes contain lead?
Galvanized pipes, which are coated with a layer of zinc to prevent rusting, do not contain lead as a primary component. However, older galvanized pipes may have been manufactured using lead-containing materials or may have lead solder at joints. Over time, corrosion and wear can also cause lead to leach into the water supply if the pipes are damaged or deteriorated. It's advisable to have water tested if you suspect your plumbing may contain lead.
What metal is old and used for plumbing pipes?
galvanized water lines, cast iron drain lines, sometimes lead pipes, terracotta or clay pipes, and in rare cases wooden pipes.
Why do people not use galvanized pipe?
People often avoid using galvanized pipe due to concerns about corrosion and rust, particularly in plumbing applications where water quality is crucial. Over time, galvanized pipes can accumulate mineral deposits, leading to reduced water flow and potential leaks. Additionally, the introduction of more modern materials, such as PVC and PEX, which are lighter, easier to install, and resistant to corrosion, has made galvanized pipes less popular for both residential and commercial use. Lastly, health concerns regarding lead contamination from older galvanized pipes also contribute to the preference for alternative materials.

Why would the hot and cold water smell of rust after having a new septic system installed?
The two systems should not be connected. Could the construction have shaken the pipes and knocked the rust loose? (Assuming that you have galvanized steel pipes). If that is the case, run the water until it is clear. Turn the water heater off, and drain the tank and refill after you have cleared the pipes.
