The real truth about plumbing, is this:
Plumbing KILLS !!!

Copper pipes themselves are pretty safe, but the solder used to
connect them, contains dangerous metals.

PVC, CPVC, Polyethylene, and PEX are used more than metal pipes these
days, but all of them cause cancer, and other health ailments. People
are not supposed to drink water that has contacted all the dangerous
chemicals in plastics.

You've stated that before, but do you know of anyone getting cancer from
PEX? I could not find any. You mention the solder used in copper, but
you fail to mention copper itself can cause kidney failure.

Even California allows PEX
