I first noticed that our home has pex tubing for its water system during the pre purchase inspection.
I turned my nose up and sneered, thinking it was just a cheaper plumbing solution than copper.
We are now looking into adding solar hot water to bring our electrical usage down even more while being able to set higher temps for the hot water.
I looked into the pex to see if it could handle the higher temps.
For most household uses it is as good as copper.
It just looks cheap.
This thread has made pex look even better.
The acidity of the catchment water probably adds to the failure of the copper piping.

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
