Still using a lead water pipe? Replacing it with modern MDPE blue plastic might seem like a hassle—but the benefits are clear: safer water, fewer leaks, and stronger pressure. Here’s why it’s one of the smartest upgrades you can make to your property.
The Hidden Dangers of Lead Pipes
Lead was a common material for water pipes in the past due to its malleability and ease of installation. However, we now know that lead poses serious health risks:
- Health Hazards: Lead can leach into your water supply over time, particularly in older pipes. Consuming water contaminated with lead can lead to a range of health problems, including developmental issues in children, kidney damage, and high blood pressure in adults.
- Regulatory Concerns: Many water authorities in the UK and beyond have strict regulations regarding lead levels in drinking water. If your property’s water is found to exceed these levels, you could face significant fines or be required to upgrade at short notice.
- Deterioration Over Time: Lead pipes corrode, leading to leaks and reduced water pressure. This not only wastes water but can also increase your bills and create inconvenient disruptions.
The Advantages of MDPE Blue Plastic Pipes
Modern MDPE blue plastic pipes offer a host of benefits that make them the ideal choice for upgrading your water supply:
- Safe for Health – MDPE doesn’t leach harmful substances, keeping your drinking water clean and safe.
- Long-Lasting & Durable – Resistant to corrosion, wear, and tear—MDPE pipes are built to last for decades.
- Better Water Pressure – Less prone to leaks and blockages, ensuring strong, reliable flow.
- Eco-Friendly – Leak prevention saves water, and the material is recyclable.
- Easy to Install – Lightweight and flexible, which cuts down on installation time and disruption.
