Does Eddy work on copper, lead, plastic or iron pipes?
Eddy can be installed on a copper, plastic, or iron pipe, but we do not recommend installation on pipes made from lead, as descaling a lead pipe may re-expose your water to direct contact with lead. Without descaling, the coating of limescale inside your lead pipes may offer some protection against the detrimental effects of lead on your health. Unlike many manufacturers, we therefore feel unable to recommend installation on lead piping. There is often a pipe of different material (copper or plastic) further “downstream” of where the lead main enters the house so a suitable installation point can usually be found.
