Stainless steel water pipe And PPR water pipe In the home decoration market, as a new product, most people think the price of stainless steel water pipe is very high. However, through investigation, it is found that the longer the stainless steel water pipe is used, the higher the price advantage is than PPR water pipe.
Taking the decoration of 80 square meters of houses in 2018 as an example, it will cost about 5000 yuan to decorate stainless steel water pipes. Based on the current house price of 16000 yuan/square meter in the main city of Chongqing and 1500 yuan/square meter for hardbound housing, the cost of water supply pipes only accounts for 0.2% - 0.4% of the house price. The increased cost due to stainless steel pipes is even more insignificant. In fact, although the initial investment of stainless steel pipes is high, their life cycle costs are very low and healthy, which is incomparable with plastic pipes.
The aging and sanitary problems of PPR pipes are relatively prominent. The aging plastic is not only prone to explosion under the impact of water pressure and water hammer, and its service life is greatly reduced. In addition, the inner wall of the water pipe is prone to bacteria and the water pipe joint is prone to release harmful substances, causing secondary pollution.
The stainless steel water pipe has no plasticizer seepage, is not easy to corrode, does not breed bacteria, and has a long service life. The use of stainless steel water pipe to prevent secondary pollution of water is to ensure the health of water quality from the outside, while the optimization of pipe design and connection mode is to protect the fresh and healthy water quality from the inside. At present, the pipelines of most buildings and households in China are connected in parallel. When a water intake point uses water, only the corresponding pipeline here will supply water, and other pipelines cannot form water flow. The long-term static environment is easy to make the water remaining on the inner wall of the pipeline form dead water, breeding bacteria and polluting the water quality.
From the perspective of economic use cost, Price of stainless steel water pipe It is also more economical than PPR water pipes, so I will give you a detailed calculation from the use cost:
Investment and use cost of water pipe materials=initial cost+equipment operation cost - recovery cost
The formula lists the indicators for measuring the economic performance of water pipe materials. Among them, life is the key to the economic performance of pipes. The longer the life of pipes, the lower the cost. For the long service life of stainless steel water pipes, the service life of PPR water pipes is generally 10-20 years and they need to be replaced.
Equipment operation cost includes power cost, heat loss, water leakage loss, etc. Therefore, the water pipe materials with long service life and free maintenance and renewal are more economical.
Once the stainless steel water pipe is used, it does not need to be replaced for a long period of time, while other pipes cannot reach such a long service life; The stainless steel water pipe can also be recycled. It can be recycled to make a new water pipe. PPR recovery not only produces toxic gas in the recovery process, but also recycles PPR because it contains impurities, so the recovered PPR can no longer be used as water pipe materials.
In terms of cost performance, although on the surface Stainless steel pipe The price is expensive, but those who can account for it calculate that the service life of stainless steel water pipes is very long, that stainless steel water pipes need no maintenance for life, that the health brought by stainless steel water pipes to family members is protected by the environment, and that stainless steel water pipes can be recycled. Therefore, stainless steel water pipes are cost-effective water pipes, and are your choice for household water pipes.
