[quote=Anonymous]PEX is the way to go these days. Easy to run and less flow reduction. They will install a manifold with a line for each terminating point so any single faucet or appliance can be shut off separately. Never heard of algae in PEX and the municipal water around here is so high in chlorine, that would be highly unlikely even in sunlight. Galvanized pipe gave way to copper, then CPVC or plastic pipe. The first flexible lines were polybutylene piping and that has been recalled because chlorine eats it up. CPVC is giving way to PEX. No one wants to torch and sweat copper pipe anymore and copper is expensive as hell. That said, nothing wrong with it at all. Consult with plumbers and get some cost estimates. [/quote]
