Pex Piping for Lake water system

LIforrelaxin · 04-04-2013, 03:57 PM

So I am getting ready to re-institute my lake water system to provide water to the camp. The reasoning for this is that sharing a well, has come at to high a cost, and as I didn't pay for the well, and really have no financial stake in it, I am opting, to stop sharing my neighbors well, and will go back to lake water.

To that end while I still have the pump and pressure tank saved, I don't have the line to the lake anymore. So I need to get a new main line a foot valve. I was looking at doing this with PEX tubing, and thought I would see if anyone has done this. I figured it might be better and easier to work with then the heavy black pipe that we used to use.
