Hi there,
I've appreciated all the knowledge on this site, first time posting.
I'm going to switch the plumbing around for my pressure tank. The galvinzed pipe is rusting out and I want to switch it to PEX. A couple questions.
The well pipe is 1" PE, I believe, the OD is just under 1.5". (I've attached a photo.) Do I need a specific PE adapter to transition to PEX? (I read somewhere that the ID is a little different than PEX.) If anyone could post a link to the right part that would be very helpful.
And my water is slightly acidic (6.8pH) and very hard. I was thinking of using poly plastic fittings rather than brass, just to be safe in regards to corrosion. Does that seem like the best way to go?
Cheers.
Shaun
