</font><font color="blue" class="small">( The bad thing about copper is that it oxidizes inside releasing the resultant copper in small but quantities that get concentrated as the water sits in the line. This happens in water that has a slightly acidic PH. If your well water is neutral, it is not an issue. Believe it or not, a young girl who was a friend of a family member died from copper poisoning. Now not to alarm you, but she had a genetic disposition for this and in the autopsy, this is exactly what they found out. Subsequently, they pulled all copper from the house. I have never heard of it before. My water is slightly acidic, not that you could taste it, but it certainly is etching the inside of my water lines, all my neighbors are having the same issue. Everyone who is springing leaks is going PEX. )</font>
I imagine that we have double the issues because of the previous steel-copper connections. I've been told steel-brass is okay, but frankly I don't like steel pipe.
I will test the water to see if it is acidic or not.
I may replace the main with Wirsbo PEX
