For that to be true you would need chemically inert pipes, I can't really think of a material in common use that meets that specification. Opening the inquiry a bit to the less common materials:
Pure Soda Lime Glass
Synthetic Quartz
Diamond
Although these materials are poor choices for many reasons, they would be very unlikely to leach anything into the water more harmful than carbon or silicon atoms.
- DoingIsLearning 5y agoDon't most copper pipes get filed with a layer of limestone deposit? That basically acts like a calcium liner of sorts no?
- rainbowzootsuit 5y agoThis depends on local water hardness but generally is a stronger effect in hot water pipes because of the inverse temperature solubility of calcium carbonate. Municipal water is definitely tuned to make a passivation layer on the pipe work.
