ᐅ Hot and cold water pipes made of aluminum composite tubing

Hello,

In my building and scope of work description, it states hot and cold water pipes made of aluminum composite pipe.

Can anyone tell me if this is good or bad? Perhaps you have personal experience regarding water quality, noise issues, health aspects, or similar.

Thank you in advance for your help.

I was also surprised when they started installing plastic pipes in our house. I was only familiar with copper pipes before. The advantage of plastic pipes is that they are easier to install because they come directly on a roll and are quite flexible. Copper pipes, on the other hand, need to be soldered. I have also noticed that any later adjustments are more affordable. For example, I had extra shut-off valves installed in the basement. For this, the pipe only had to be cut at the relevant spot, and the fittings with the valve were simply press-fitted. The effort and cost were quite low. I don’t believe there are any health drawbacks because plastic is generally more resistant than copper, and since fewer joints are needed, the chance of leaks is probably lower as well. However, I am not an expert; this is just my personal opinion.

No concerns, only positive experiences so far

Thank you for the information.
