HDPE
or PE pipes as most people call it has been around and
used for a long long time. It has proven itself be durable
and resistant to degradation and has no corrosion making
it ideal for potable (drinking) water. Much of the old
piping in water racks around the country are slowly
but surely being replaced with this type of piping material
which will eventually benefits everyone in particular
the household who can now look forward to unspoilt clear
and clean water! This is because HDPE is strong, robust,
does not corrode or leach harmful chemicals into the
water, has no scaling problems and do not propagate
sludge or bacterial build up.
This
not only saves the trouble and costs involved in rectification
or replacements costs when the other piping materials/systems
have to be de-sludged due to clogging or replaced due
to corrosion and leaking, it is literally maintenance
free. Equally rewarding is that it does not cost any
more than common piping materials.
