 Water main to mobile home
Author: kmpage333 (OK)

I have trenched from the water main to the mobile home, now I need to put in the pipe. I've heard and seen bad things about PEX, but Solitaire uses PEX in the house. The land is in Oklahoma, clay, sand and rock, so softer pipe is not an option. I know a guy having to replace 200+ feet of pipe behind his house because it has started leaking. I am looking for a a 30-40 year solution. I have ten acres and I'm putting water out to the barn as well. Thanks for any advice you can give me!

If you use Pex-a you will never have a problem. Buy one big roll of 1" or 1 1/4" to avoid joints in that 200' run. Just make sure you lay it on a bed of sand. It will last 100+ years easy.
