I replaced my water installation some weeks ago. The copper pipes did not show build-up. I cut the pipe at the hydrofor to make it easier getting it up the stairs that was another story. I think it’s 45 years of build-up

Just imagine how all the water you drink flows through there.
Yes, that is how the minerals deposit in the first place.
I do …
That’s not the point… The water itself is! Where do you think the build-up comes from ?? However, we regularly send samples to a lab to ensure it’s healthy, and it is. I’m also a 100% sure the pipes from whichever water company has build-up in it too.
Hard water minerals like calcium and iron. It’s not harmful.
And a little bit of Al and Mg as well. All of those metals that could have been in your bottle or shower are now suck in the pipe walls. You’re really missing out.
Not anymore! Just get a spoon.
Spread it on crumpets for tea.
I used to have gravity fed water that got built up like that but we didn’t even filter the incoming water and that’s why. I’m guessing with you it’s hard water.
This build up can be the only thing keeping you from drinking lead too. I believe damage to the buildup due to a reduction in water additives was what happened in flint.
That is correct, the change in ph eroded the buildup in Flint which allowed the lead to start leeching into the water.
100% correct except it’s leaching.
No leeches were involved
It’s iron oxide. You need that to live.
That’s more than just a bit of rust bud.
Cmon, lick it! It’s for strong bones.
