A booklet entitled, *Pttt3ZHa* Issued tar the Strecollaa Pipe end nttir^s Division of year Caapwy, la ISA?, has just oces
to gr attention,
Z hsv* read trim sees considerable niogivingB the following stateaent which appears an page 3 of this booklets
bead pipe Is unsafe la soft water* as the
oarbordc acid
lead and the resulting lead
ooapounda aejr cause lead poisoning* Hsdioal
authorities recognlie this dangers*
fhile it Is sadoubtedlp true that certain waters najr dissolve axcesslve aaounts of load, we feel that publication of sods a stateesnt In your booklet la loads# end umerranted for two reasons s
In the first place wo feel that as a general policy it Is not sound advertising to discuss cacpetltlve materials unnecessarily as
soch discussions only lead to retaliatory discussions on the pert of the competitor.
In the' second piece chile we, ourselves, quite frankly do net roccsasend lead pipe under certain conditions we do not feel that It is fair to sake the above rtateuent without including a complete discussion of the subject such es you here in the case of copper* for instance, you recanend tinned copper for very soft water* in general of the type that would be corrosive to lead, at yea reecKsend that the water be treated. These ere identical with our own recassendetlans In connection with lead* rurtherwor*, waters of the type that ere oorroalv* to lead, at least enong public water supplies, art very restricted in nusber,
Z sn enclosing s copz of a paper which I presented before the Tr&J England Jeter ~or*s Association several years ego in which the sub ject was thorou^ly discussed on page* 7 to 11* Vatars which stteok lead sufficiently to nake thee unsafe also attack copper or iron end steel In e way that neks then, wdeslrable* Therefor*, treatment is ths general answer*
