You shouldn’t use most PVC items for drinking water but it’s better than no water at all.
I guess then I am a dead man considering that all the house I have lived in for at least the past 20 years have all had PVC piping. How long to you give me?
HUH?
“You shouldn’t use most PVC items for drinking water but it’s better than no water at all.”
Well, my water district sends us water in PVC pipes, should I sue them? Or perhaps I should get a life.
Uh oh, we in the Tampa Bay area have a problem, then. Most homes are now constructed with Schedule 40 PVC.
There's been a continuing problem with copper pipe; the solder flux reacts with chemicals in the water supply and water lines built with copper are prone to developing pin-hole leaks. In my brand new house that I lived in for 14 years, I had to have leaks repaired on 4 different occasions. One of those was beneath the slab in the garage. I had to chisel and jack hammer a section of the slab out to repair the leak. That was a real pain. Others were in the wall between rooms. That resulted in having to replace sections of drywall that were water damaged and/or had to be removed to get to the pipes to repair them.
