The Water in Your Pipes
May be Making You Sick


A Problem That Lays Hidden Behind Your Walls

Accelerated pipe corrosion is real problem that should not be ignored. Not only does it make your water taste bitter, it poisons your water with toxins.

These include:

• Copper- from copper pipes

• Lead- from solder or pipes if your home was built before 1991

• Vinyl chloride- from plastic PVC plumbing components

These toxins have been associated with a number of acute and chronic health problems of varying severity.

Beyond these health concerns, rapid pipe corrosion can cost you in a number of ways:

• It decreases the efficiency of hot water heaters possibly causing premature failure to the heater.

• It causes premature failure of household plumbing and plumbing fixtures.

• It can give you higher water bills due to undetected leaks.

• It leaves a bad taste in your water due to high metallic content, which may cause you to buy bottled water;

• It can turn your water a reddish color and can leave greenish blue stains on drains, which require special cleaners to remove.

• Consumption of water with elevated levels of toxins may cause health problems, which produce extra medical bills.
