There is a saying that says an ounce of prevention is worth its weight in gold. In order to avoid plumbing problems, preventive measures should be taken. The worst thing that can happen to plumbing is corrosion. As well as damaging your pipes and plumbing fixtures, corrosion can also lead to leaking and clogged drains. It is natural for metal pipes to corrode, and all plumbing will eventually succumb to corrosion. There are some things you can do, however, to slow the process down and prolong the life of your plumbing.
Adjust The pH of Your Water
Your water's pH is very important in preventing corrosion in plumbing. Acidity increases as pH decreases. Corrosive water is a major contributor to corrosion in plumbing. An acidic pH is 1, an alkaline pH is 14, and a neutral pH is 7. You should aim to keep your house's water as close as possible to 7. If you have acidic water in your home, you may notice stains on plumbing fixtures. This is a good sign that your pipes are corroded. pH tester kits can be purchased online to test the pH of your water, or you can have the water tested in a lab. You will need to treat the water if its pH is extremely high.
Acidic Neutralizer
Water that is acidic is best treated with an acidic neutralizer. The water must be filtered with calcite (calcium carbonate) or magnesium oxide, both of which neutralize acidic properties in the water and raise the pH. In your home, water is filtered through a tank located near the point of entry for your water supply. Calcium carbonate can make your water hard, so it is important to understand. If you want to regulate pH, then you need to determine how hard your natural water is and how much calcium carbonate you need. Hard water can be combated by using a water softener in conjunction with acidic neutralizers.
Chemical Feed Pumps
Another option for adjusting the pH of your water is to use a chemical feed pump. Chemical feed pumps work by injecting the water with a neutralizing solution like soda ash or caustic soda. Water pH determines the dosage. The chemical feed pumps require routine maintenance, as the solution tanks must be refilled.
Regular Pipe Cleaning
Another way to prevent corrosion in plumbing is to keep the pipes clean. Hydro-jetting is very effective at knocking off buildup on your pipes. As an example, microbiologically induced corrosion may occur if corrosive bacteria are introduced to metal. Your plumbing can also be kept in good shape with regular pipe cleaning.
Other Things You Can Do
Additionally, you can prevent corrosion by doing the following:
Add a protective layer or sealant
Bolt down and stabilize the pipes
Avoid using liquid drain cleaners
