oh no, most of lukes water is from pvc pipes that have lead mixed in them :(. oh dear...
even in the uk there a fair bit of lead pvc water pipe i think it was saying... urrgh eek...
been reading up about Nitrile rubber + Polyvinyl chloride foam on wikipedia, used for cheap car sound damping. one link lead to another, to pvc.... to plastic water pipe lead contamination.... bad enough old pipes made from lead metel now with limescale internal coating unless the wrong water is used it that gets dissolved like in flint, usa... urrgh. would have thought they would not be stupid to repeat the same mistake in plastic pipes!
then these the leaking from plastics and gassing... i dont i will be buying cheap nitrile rubber + Polyvinyl chloride foam for car sound damping, ill get the more ££ butyl rubber visco elastic polymer if thats any better health wise....? well audio people prefer it.

First of all, IIRC. luke's not in China itself. But I don't know for certain. Second, what's a stabilizer? It seems to me that plastic and metal don't mix, but I don't have more then a rudimentary understanding of polymers. I'd think that if they worked well together then we'd have aluminum/plastic pipe; a stronger pipe then plastic, but with the flexibility of plastic.
Thanks, David
Am in Toronto atm. Taipei before that. Yes water quality in TW not that great. Most people use bottled water. Or definitely boil it. L.

Hmm... boiling doesn't help get rid of lead does it?
And people buying bottled water is far from proof of anything (all too often it's the result of heavy advertising from the vendors of bottled water, spreading fear about tap water and avoiding real comparisons of water quality, where bottled water doesn't always shine).
