Hello everyone!
Time for another quick tip to help you avoid damage and save on hot water!
Did you know that some water pipes are resistant to UV rays, and some are not? If a pipe is exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, the UV rays can damage the pipe itself. Even worse, grass or algae can start growing inside the pipe, which may block water flow or damage your mixers.
To prevent this, make sure your pipes are UV-protected, or installed inside proper outdoor trunking. But the best option is to insulate them.
Here in Malta, the sun’s UV rays are very strong. Insulating your water pipes will help in summer by keeping the water from getting too hot, and in winter, it helps retain the heat from your water heater—so you're not wasting energy due to outdoor exposure.
