Plastic-Tasting Water: A Vallejo Guide

The new pipes

New PEX or plastic lines can impart a taste that fades after flushing.

The sitting water

Water that sits in plastic lines or a tank overnight tastes worse — run it cold before using.

The fix

Flushing the lines and using cold water for drinking usually helps.

The call

If the taste persists, test the water. Call 888-217-3585 and Vallejo Home Plumbing Co will match you with a Vallejo pro.
