Hello everyone!
I have a leaking damaged galvanized water pipe in the basement. I would like to replace it. The insurance does not cover the damage because it is not broken. Now I thought I would replace it with a copper pipe by completely laying it new in copper from the water meter. It's about 3 meters. Then I could also install a shut-off valve directly. Now I heard something about the flow rule that you should not go from copper to zinc anymore because it otherwise reacts. I am an electrician by profession but I trust myself to do it because I have already soldered several heating pipes and it has always held so far. The water hardness is hard.
Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks in advance for your tips.
