Default Re: Availability of Leaded Solder?

From what I have read over the years, there doesn't seem to be a real problem with lead pipes in hard water areas where the water comes from boreholes in chalk or limestone (as in my part of Essex) . It can be a problem where you have soft water (eg from sandstone), as this can be quite plumbo-solvent.
