C-PVC the most effective pipe material to control microbial growth in drinking water systems

Biodegradable compounds can cause undesired microbial growth in drinking water systems and these compounds can originate from the water or pipe materials used in drinking water systems. 

In a recent study published in Water Research, Dutch water research institute KWR compares different piping materials for their ability to control microbial growth in drinking water systems. The most effective pipe material is chlorinated PVC, also known as C-PVC.
