The essence of the problem lies in the fact that for a very long time to create water -stocked systems used not only modern polyethylene pipes, but Soviet still products that do not correlate with quality standards adopted in our time. You say – but in the USSR everything stood and did not fall? Well, and all kinds of replacements, planned and warranty repairs were financed, were carried out much more often. And then… Who said that that’s all? However, you should not despair, even if you personally already had to deal with emergency situations on the water supply. Try to look at life a little more positive! Very soon, such problems will become impossible in principle, since the metal and reinforced concrete pipes simply sink into oblivion. Well, it is precisely that PND pipes with the whole bouquet of advantages will be replaced. Which we will talk about further!
First of all, polyethylene pipes are attractive to their… price. So this is not the case when for the sake of strengthening communication systems you will have to spend additional funds; In general, a curious fact – initially they did not turn to polyethylene pipes at all, in order to somehow improve the situation, to look for new options – an alternative to uncomfortable pipes of the old generation, but simply with the aim of saving ”! You may relate to the fact of the cheapness of PND pipes with an explained suspicion – they say, how good such a good one can cost even cheaper than a bad? But the price is quite justified: the costs of the production of such pipes are much less, the production technology is simpler and cheaper, and the material itself in cost with the same steel is incomparable. In addition, the practical use of polyethylene pipes is a guarantee of reducing the cost of installation, since all the work can be carried out by the efforts of only a few workers very quickly, simply, without the participation of complex production mechanisms – except for primitive welding equipment for fusing joints.
Young workers will be able to engage in the installation of pipelines without extensive experience – the quality of the result will not suffer, as well as polyethylene pipes themselves. By the way, they are transported to the PND pipe construction site is also very easy – they weigh little, plastic, durable, so they will not spoil the road.
Another pleasant distinguishing characteristic of polyethylene pipes is their resistance to the influence of an aggressive environment. They are not afraid of temperature changes and pressure characteristic of underground pipelines, resistant to corrosive processes, do not rust – this is plastic, there is no raid on the internal walls of the pipes – mineral or mud. As a result, it turns out that PND pipes last longer – even in regions where there is a climate problem. In addition, as a result of their use, the quality of water in the water supply is increased.
In general, the durability of polyethylene pipes is a separate story! In many European countries, such pipelines have laid out more than thirty years ago. So you think? These systems are still worth! Successfully operated! With a minimum of interventions on the part of repair teams for all years! And researchers swear that polyethylene pipes can also behave well and fifty years in a row. Of course, do not flatter yourself – in order for polyethylene pipes to function so well and okay, they need to create certain conditions. But even without that they serve for a very long time, so even in harsh Russian conditions… We have a chance!
It should also be noted the amazing elasticity and strength, which are famous for PNP pipes. You have no idea what complex systems can be mounted from such sources! Water supply with a huge amount of bends? Well, polyethylene pipes can be a little lonely… Add polyethylene fittings – and the problem is solved!
For advocates of ecology and “green” lifestyle: choose plastic pipes! Don’t even try to hesitate! What? You are afraid of toxicity? But in this case, it is excluded! Principle. Water that has passed through such pipes can be safely drunk. Cook food with her. Yes, at least bathe small children… although not – for the baby, the chlorine is a bit too much. But maybe soon, switching entirely to polyethylene pipes, housing services will just refuse such saturated water chlorination?
As you can see, polyethylene pipes are a way out. The access to a new reality, where houses do not crumble due to broken water pipelines, which are too difficult and costly – in every sense – to fix it on time, and even after the accident – so at all… This is the yield of companies engaged in the production of such building elements to the large market. This is a way out of stagnation, the departure from the traditional use of the use of the use of steel or copper. This is the way out of many scientists from the working “coma”, the opportunity for them to direct forces to research in this area, to begin to invent something – for example, three -layer pipes from modified polyethylene for underground laying, but, what is what?
This… What is it for you personally? Determine. You will need just a situation in which polyethylene pipes are needed… Well, the pipes themselves, of course! Good luck!
