Hello,Have had a few pinhole leaks in house Copper water pipes.Certainly don't want to re-plumb the whole house !Anyone have any experience with the epoxy lining treatment for these house water pipes ? Please see: also particularly wondering about:- Health safety aspects of drinking water thru epoxy pipes ?- how do they handle pumping the epoxy with all the valves in the house; faucets, shower valves, etc. ?- what happens at the 90 degree elbows ?- how "popular" is this technique ? Proven, experimental, etc. ?- what are the negatives and caveats to this approach; there are undoubtedly, I would think, some ? Cost aspects ?Thanks,Bob

Hi,If I were you I'd not mess around with things like that. Fix the problem proper and live happily ever after. If you keep trying gadgetry,at the end the money spent will be lot more than fixing right first time.

=3D=3D Sounds like the water being pushed through these copper pipes must be highly acidic...what gives with that? =3D=3D

=3D=3D The cost for one thing, contamination of potable water is another and the best one is that it is totally impractical for the DIY person to learn how to totally screw up hi/her system with an untried process as an experiment. If you need to replace the pipes, just DO IT. That is what plumbers do...hire one...or two...or three if necessary. =3D=3D

How well does the epoxy stand up to soldering temperatures?
