Modernizes Your Drinking Water Pipes While copper pipe has been the choice of plumbers for generations, modern pipe systems are now made with flexible Pex pipe which can not only bend and is quicker and cheaper to install, but also doesn't have the natural corrosive properties of metal pipe. Improves Water Quality Corrosion leads to heavy metals leaching into your drinking water system and these effects begin very shortly after installation. By upgrading to plastic pipe you can not only avoid the repair issues that come with metal pipe but also enjoy cleaner water. Improves Water Pressure Corrosive leaching isn't just bad for you, it's bad for your water pressure. Sediment from the corrosive process clogs aerators and reduces water pressure causing a maintenance nightmare or worse. With non-corrosive pipe material your water system will flow smoother over time.
