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.
