I fully doubt that. Nothing seems to sink into that head of his. At

You really are full of it aren't you. The more you talk, the better
we can see that you know nothing. There are plenty of possible
reasons to need water during the winter.

It is common knowledge that Female PVC fittings don't hold up well,
whether the male fitting is PVC, iron pipe, or even brass. The
Female fittings tend to leak, until you tighten them down enough,
then they split.

Exactly what happened to my line. I laid it in the fall and the leak
(massive) surfaced in January. Had to shut down my well and re-open
the community well line that I gave up on by drilling my own well. I
had wound up being the unpaid maintenance man on the community well.
Had enough of that after 10 years.


FWIW, one possible way to improve the performance of female threaded PVC fitting
is to tighten a hose clamp around the threaded portion before screwing in the
male thread. It keeps the fitting from splitting nearly so easy.
