  • FlowGuard® CPVC’s resistance to chemical permeation further assures homeowners of a clean water supply, mitigating potential risks associated with pipe corrosion and contaminant infiltration.

 

Ensuring the purity of water in a residential plumbing system is a top priority for any homeowner. The integrity of the water you use daily shouldn't be compromised by the materials carrying it to your home. Despite rigorous water disinfection practices, the risk of bacterial presence in drinking water persists, influenced significantly by the choice of piping material.

Recent findings from comprehensive international research, including pivotal studies like the Kiwa Water Assessment, rigorously examined the safety profiles of various piping options, including green pipe (PPR Pipe) and chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC).
