Legal nonsense notwithstanding < G > I cannot drink the water from plastic piping. I am well aware that it (plastic piping) is supposed to be "totally odourless" etc, but *I* can taste the plastic, and it disgusts me.

Copper ions however, *are* known to be vital to overall health, and may play a part in retaining hair color.

I don't know about you, but keeping my hair brown matters to those who enjoy it. My younger brother already has bits of grey, but even my mustache is still one colour.

(BTW, I donate my hair so kids with cancer can have wigs).

PEX adds less taste to water than copper does. PVC and CPVC are different.
