Excellent stuff, just run the water for a min 1st thing in the morn, or if it's left all day, before using.Lead test kits was negative (so less than 15ppb)

An incline, brick path, 9ft high laurel hedge, to the meter, uphill, maybe 1m incline. Meter is buried about 1m down in an access pipe.Is it worth moling 4mtrs? What’s the surface?
I had a nice surprise - water company called, doing lead test monday. They also said if my pipe is lead, so is theirs between the meter and their main, so will book in a team to replace it.
When I confirm my work is done, they'll give me a £250 credit on my bill.
South East WaterExcellent. Which water company is this?
Epic in the lead pipe. Previous owners had the tap isolators set on a stready flow. It set them fully open and turning the cold tap sprays everywhere. A strong flow, even if going through 20m of lead pipe.Don’t know what your pressure/flow is like
Yeah, I grew up on lead pipes. Didnt harm me, that I know. However, its a real although small risk to kids and pregancies. I have both.Lead or micro plastic in your water...Take your pick...Half of the country is still lead....Probably furred over donkies years ago so no lead in the water
Few metres to your house makes no difference when the water has sat in miles of lead pipe.I choose plastic.
No, the water company have said the supply from their main to my meter is also lead, and they are coming Tue to dig up street and replace it.Few metres to your house makes no difference when the water has sat in miles of lead
Hi I just meant if the supply from the water board from the street was larger then 25mm I would go with 32mm for the future, a larger family using multiple appliances at once in the futureEpic in the lead pipe. Previous owners had the tap isolators set on a stready flow. It set them fully open and turning the cold tap sprays everywhere. A strong flow, even if going through 20m of lead pipe.
And the other endless miles of pipe from wherever the water is stored?No, the water company have said the supply from their main to my meter is also lead, and they are coming Tue to dig up street and replace it.
