Prefer copper pipes installed without solders, fluxes, or other filler metals.
Avoid using copper pipes if your water supply typically has a low pH (<6.5).
If plastic pipes are selected, choose polypropylene (PP), high density polyethylene (HDPE), or polyethylene of raised temperature (PE-RT) over crosslinked polyethylene (PEX).
Avoid using polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC).
Prefer products with full disclosure of content through Health Product Declarations (HPDs).
