You take every precaution to ensure your family’s health—you filter your refrigerator water and buy organic produce. But have you considered how the materials hidden in your walls are affecting the water you drink and bathe in every single day? The choice of piping material in your home is one of the most critical health decisions you will make for your building.
Older plumbing systems often rely on materials that can degrade over time, leading to two main problems: leaching and biofilm.
- Leaching: As water flows through pipes made of certain metals, microscopic amounts of those metals can dissolve and enter the water supply. While systems are regulated, many homeowners prefer to eliminate this risk entirely.
- Biofilm: This is a sticky layer of microorganisms that can build up on the rough inner surfaces of older or corroded pipes, potentially harboring bacteria.
The J-Press Pressfit piping technology system is designed to combat both of these issues with superior materials, specifically high-grade stainless steel and gunmetal.
Stainless steel is non-corrosive and chemically stable. This means it resists the chemical interaction with water, drastically minimizing the risk of metal leaching into your drinking water. Its smooth, durable surface also makes it very difficult for contaminants and biofilm to adhere to the interior walls, ensuring the water stays as clean as possible from the street to your faucet.
Furthermore, the J-Press Pressfit piping technology installation itself is cleaner. Because the connections are pressed, not soldered, your water system is never exposed to the fluxes, fumes, or residue that can be left behind by the traditional torch method. This ensures a cleaner start for your entire plumbing system.
Choosing J-Press Pressfit piping technology is an active commitment to a healthy home. It’s an investment in a durable, hygienic plumbing foundation that helps deliver the purest, highest-quality water to your family.
