Well, I did the humidifier in the basement with plastic tubing (poly-something) and in 5 years or so it sprang a leak and sprayed water all over the place. No sharp bends and no one touched it. Replaced it with copper and 15 years later, no problem. Saddle valve was never a problem. Plus I was a party one night when our hostess's fridge icemaker tube started leaking from the kitchen into the basement. So now you know two people.

So, I go down the basement to grab something out of storage. Why am I feeling a cool mist?

I look up to see the 25 YO plastic tube to the ice maker right above my head. Directly to the left of
that is the copper pipe to the water heater. The copper pipe has a pinhole in it, from which
water is spraying.

Does my intact plastic tube and leaking copper pipe cancel out 1 the 2 plastic tube leaks
that you describe?
