Webinar: How Chlorine-Based Disinfectants Impact Your Plumbing Systems

Learn how evolving disinfectants, especially chlorine dioxide, are reshaping plumbing material performance and what you must consider when selecting systems for long‑term reliability.

Key Topics We’ll Cover:

    • Chlorine dioxide usage is rising rapidly, increasing at least 119% in the U.S. since 2020 as utilities adopt it for its effectiveness and reduced taste/odor and byproduct issues.
    • Chlorine-based disinfectants can significantly reduce the lifespan of some plumbing materials, including copper, PEX and others.
    • FlowGuard® Gold CPVC is 100% immune to all known chlorine-based disinfectants found in drinking water, offering long-term reliability under modern treatment practices.
