Had a plumber come out to my sisters house cause it was just to much for me to fuck with. He replaced with this and said it could expand to twice its size in a freeze. Thinking of having the whole house re plumbed with it ( small house).

Npw at work we have one line with pex ( not sure what type) but I have had to fix two leaks when not freezing. Of course it could have been fuckin moles chewing on them.

Pex is good. The only failure point is the connections. But a bit of insulation around any couplings takes care of that. Pex is all i use anymore, its fast, easy, and reliable.

Plus you get to have plasticizers in your drinking water, not to mention bathing in them.

↑ This is why you shouldn't use pex anything.

Sorry to say micro plastics are in everything. Doesn't matter if you use pex or not.

False. If there are X amount of plastics in your water without PEX, there are X+Y plastics in your water with PEX.

Agreed. Also, there is a big difference between pex a and pex b. Pex A is far superior.
