Plumbing systems are one of the most critical components of a home; they are responsible for delivering clean, safe water to families and a plumbing mishap can have devastating impacts, FlowGuard says. Different plumbing system materials can fail for various reasons including chlorine degradation, installation errors and aggressive water.  FlowGuard Gold pipes and fittings is a brand of hot- and cold-water piping in the United States. Compared to other plastics it is a more durable, reliable system, the company says. When comparing to metals, it is less expensive to install, and CPVC will never corrode, pit or scale, thus preventing problems, the company notes.
