Hi Adrianne...

It is very rare for a PVC water pipe to clog up with sediment. What makes you think your pipes are clogged? Any chance you have PVC pipes coming off older clogged pipes, for example?

Let me know..

Answer Marks questions and I have a few of my own. While mineral buildup's a problem in galvanized pipes We don't get the same complaint on PVC and CPVC water pipes.
Are you on a pump or city water?
What, exactly is your complaint? Be specific please.
Id this a whole house problem or just one fixture?
In short we need more information before we can give you a answer. Cheers, tom
