plumbing galvanized to copper

While plumbing is mostly used to bring in water for use, it can also carry away the waste from bathrooms and washing machines alike. Two common types of pipes are galvanized and copper, so named for their material composition (sheathed steel in the case of a galvanized pipe -- which is typically what happens with water pipes; simple ol' durable old-fashioned metal that we all know well). These types of pipes are like two sides of the same coin, and people make choices between them depending on different criteria so one should have thorough knowledge about both in order to select one.

Pros and Cons of Galvanized vs Copper Pipes

Galvanized pipes are resistant to corrosion and have a long life. In addition to be a cost effective alternative, PEX systems are cheaper than copper pipe. But the stuff can rust over time, and rusty galvanized water pipes are a chronic problem for many older homes. Alternatively, copper pipes are more durable than plastic and do not rust. Beside that, it does not change the flavor or smell of water. The biggest downfall to copper pipes is that they cost more initially.
