[AT] OT- Pex

[John Wilkens]

I used Pex to plumb a new water system from pump house to home, and 
all the in between fixtures and had good luck with it.  Very easy to 
use and the Pex pipe is supposed to be very strong.  I borrowed the 
crinper tool from local irrigation company.  I did use a few 
sharkbite fittings but don't really trust them--and they are 
expensive.       John W.
