Everywhere I've gone they have used tape (industrial). I've even gotten bitched at for not using it.

Really made we worried that not eating killed him, but then I read he didn't drink water for 25 days ... that's actually impressive. Gives me hope if I'm ever stuck at sea.

Probably has a lot to do with freezing if I had to guess. You should see all the homes down here during the freezes in the past few years. All the PVC in the house I'm renting busted in December.

I was talking about before the home. However, I've worked on a few homes and the majority are PVC with older homes being zinc plated steel. House I'm in now is 100% PVC and CPVC, and the house I was in before was the exact same as well. Just went and looked at a home the other day and it was probably 80% PVC and CPVC. This is in the Houston area as well.

Maybe I shouldn't have said often, but they used PVC for a bunch of the supply lines in my brothers neighborhood as they were building it. Honestly it's probably mostly old cast iron or something, but I don't know.

Got any links, because now I'm curious and the only thing I could find said PVC is used, but not how often. I've seen a few systems done in plants made from PVC so I figured it was used pretty often. Also, I wasn't even specifically talking about traditional PVC, just some sort of Polyvinyl Chloride because it's cheap ... or used to be.

My brother was looking into it and sent me a bunch of studies on chemicals leaching into your water lines and it seems pretty bad as well. The problem is PVC is much worse and that's often how it gets to your home.

have to check it out.

There is a crazy Radiolab podcast about this.

I feel like these would be pretty effective if they couldn't be jammed very easily and I have no idea how easy that is to do.

Thanks! I thought so, but I wasn't sure and didn't feel like looking it up.

Jesus Christ, I swear to god these class action lawsuits are so pointless on so many levels. All they usually are is a small fine for these companies. Lately they have just been trying to transfer the debt to another company and declare bankruptcy.

Recently a bunch of companies including Axe (I believe) had to recall products for lethal levels of poisonous compounds in body sprays.

There is no way this would be that hard to fix and would probably pay for itself very quickly.

This is also what I've heard.

We are basically taking money from the poor / young people and giving it to older / wealthier people.
