When water chemistries are not consistent with what is described above for cuprosolvency it should be determined whether the water itself has a blue/green cast to it or if there are small malachite particles in the water that are causing the staining. In the later case, the water quality criteria described above for classic cuprosolvency may not be operative. There may instead be precipitation of bicarbonate and sodium byproducts out of the water in such a way as to loosely adhere to the tube wall and react with the copper surface to form a blue/green copper carbonate. This material is very friable and can easily flake off into the water stream when the plumbing system is put into service. It seems to occur most often when water high in bicarbonates has been allowed to stand in the piping system for some time, especially when exposed to high ambient temperatures. For instance, if a house is built and left standing while waiting for completion or occupancy during the heat of the summer months. be joined using heat, but specialist machinery and training is required for this, which is usually out of the realm Please note: The pricing in this article refers to the ‘supply pipe’ only, not the replacement water main or communication pipe because that is the water company’s responsibility.

The net is just stapled to the lathe. You just have to work out the length the pipe has to be. A PEX supply won’t corrode like copper. If you live in an area with acidic water, copper can corrode over time. A PEX supply is unaffected by acidic water and is therefore a better choice in these areas. Always speak to your local water company first to understand what the situation is with your property, and what work (if any) they will carry out for you. MDPE also known as alkathene pipe and is flexible and a durable piping system that is easy to install.

No. You can install PEX fittings supply just like you would other pipe, with main lines and branches to each fixture. But you lose a lot of the benefits of PEX with this system since it requires so many fittings. With the home-run system, you install a manifold in the utility room or some area that’s close to the main water line and water heater, and run a separate PEX tube to each fixture as shown above. This system uses more tubing, but is fast and only requires two connections: one at the manifold and another at the fixture end. You can also use a hybrid system where you run three-quarter inch hot and cold lines to a set of fixtures — for example, a bathroom — and install a smaller manifold behind an access panel. Then make short runs of one-half inch PEX water line tubing to each fixture. short, if you are replacing a water supply pipe or putting in a new one to a house, round a farm, a golf course or

Fiona Nevile on Working hard on the cottage Dear Veronica, So good to hear from you. I'd love to hear all your news - I often think about you and wonder how it's going for you both... Yes, it's… Veronica on Working hard on the cottage We are still happily settled in our little house in France, but have taken to spending a few months in Spain in the winter.

The world of polyethylene (abbreviated to "PE") pipe is a very confused one with different names On one of my searches for “cheap cloches” I was drawn onto a gardening forum where several members had made cloches using blue water pipe as a frame. And then covering this with fleece or plastic in the winter and insect netting in the summer. The one problem seemed to be anchoring the hoops so the cloches didn’t blow away. Quite a few people mentioned the Geoff Hamilton cloche . This has a wooden frame that supports the pipe which is fine for a small raised bed but not for a twelve foot cloche, apart from in Mr Universe’s garden. Blue MDPE is buried underground and is lightweight, does not corrode and is the ideal material to deliver clean (potable) water services. I spent a lot of the weekend searching for cloches on the internet. I’ve sown peas and carrots for an early crop in the spring and even though we have a lot of cloches I need the smaller ones to protect salad and stir fry leaves. I did find some ‘cheap’ fleece cloches for under fifteen quid but I would need five of these – out of the question at the moment.

Yes. When plumbing with PEX, you can use stab-in or compression fittings to make the connections, but they’re too expensive to be practical on large projects. Connections for most PEX supply jobs require a special tool. There are several PEX supply connection methods, but only two affordable enough to be practical for DIYers: crimp rings and cinch clamps. Although lead pipes haven’t been in use for over 40 years, in older properties some service pipes may be made from lead. If this is the case with your property, it’s recommended to replace lead pipes with modern plastic pipes to avoid drinking water with traces of lead in it.
