[quote=Anonymous]TLDR; problem with plastic pipes: 1. Leaching, 2. Permeation. 3. Wildfires. As op, 2 and 3 don’t apply in my house or locally even as pex isn’t used in ground and we don’t source water from wildfire prone areas. And, the research and consensus is mixed on 1 but I tend to agree as it’s logical, I just don’t know to what extent I agree or the actual (mitigable?) impact. I tend to agree with NSF as they evaluate and certify many products for restaurant or home use. The Va tech quote seems to indicate legionnaires isn’t due to pex or copper alone but ph and phosphate levels. Granted I didn’t read that study or maybe I interpreted it wrong and the pex affects the ph and phosphate?[/quote]
