Water lines are the veins of the water supply system, the most important component. This means that their maintenance is of utmost importance, and should never be ignored or pushed back. Same is the case for repair and replacement, because letting a problem fester is never a good thing.

What Is The Function Of Water Lines?

To put it in simple words, water lines are responsible for carrying water to different parts of your home. The water in your home comes from the main line of water supply buried underneath the ground and are connected to water heater. From there, the line splits off in two ways, the cold and the hot water. The cold water line is directly connected to all the appliances in the building, and will reach then without any delay, but the hot water will first take some time to become hot and then will reach the devices for use.

Types Of Pipes In Water Lines:

The most commonly used types of water lines are PVC, CPVC and PEX pipes, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

• PVC Pipes:

PVC pipes, made of polyvinyl, are the first choice for residential use due to their affordable price and easy to adjust size and ability to be fitted without any fuss. The biggest advantage of these pipes is that they are rust resistant, durable and will last for a long time. But this type cannot be used for carrying hot water, as it is vulnerable to higher temperature liquid and will easily break, nor for the water used for drinking applications, as the corrosion due to exposure to UV rays can cause harmful micro plastics to mix with the water, rendering it useless for human consumption.

• CPVC Pipes:

Although much more expensive than the PVC, CPVC pipes are preferred because they can be used for carrying water fit for human consumption. Although they are replacing the copper pipes readily enough, these flexible pipes cannot withstand cold, and will crack after freezing in the colder season.

• PEX Pipes:

One of the most commonly used type in the modern homes, REX pipes are extremely durable, flexible, perfect for retrofitting and remodeling, and most important of all, it trumps over both PVC and CPVC in terms of its ability to withstand colder and warmer temperatures without getting damaged. It does not requires glue to hold up, but it does need specialized tools for handling, and need a copper or CPVC pipe to connect with the water heater as these pipes cannot be connected directly with the heater.
Other types include copper and galvanized steel pipes, but have become outdated in recent decades.

Why Maintaining Water Lines Is Necessary?

You will be able to learn which sections need repair, replacement or just a simple tune up.
