Installation of plastic water tubing should only be used if water conditions demand plastic or a non metallic material.
Pex tubing in particular puts out chemicals as it sits idle then flows to outlets threw the plumbing system. If your plumber recommends this product for any other reason then I would advise you to keep looking for a quality plumber interested in protecting the you families health and well being over making some money. If you are buying a new home I recommend insisting to your realitor that the home you purchase must be plumbed with copper water tubing.
