One of the most notable features of galvanized iron is its excellent resistance to corrosion. Water, especially when carrying minerals and other impurities, can be highly corrosive to certain metals. Traditional steel pipes can easily rust over time, compromising the integrity of the water supply. However, the zinc coating in galvanized iron acts as a protective barrier, preventing moisture and air from reaching the underlying steel. This protection significantly extends the lifespan of the pipes, reducing the need for frequent replacements and maintenance which can be costly for water suppliers.
