PEX Repiping Specialist

The chemical composition has changed in our water supply.

As the environment is affected by pollutants, many parts of the country are adding more chemicals to the water supply to disinfect and try and combat the damage the pollutants are doing to the pipes that carry it.

In addition, airborne chemicals are starting to make copper less effective in several parts of the country.

PEX stands for “cross-linked polyethylene”. Polyethylene is the raw material and the X refers to the cross linking of the polyethylene across its PEX Pipe molecular chains.

Simply put, through one of several processes, links between polyethylene molecules are formed to create bridges (thus the term “cross-linked) which gives it extreme durability and longevity.

The resulting material is more durable under temperature extremes and chemical attack making PEX an excellent material for hot water and other applications.
