Replace with pex if this material meets code in your area. Your building official can be a valuable source for info. Depending on your area and the contents of the water and local codes, All will determine the replacment material.

If the water has any abrasives in it or is high in limestone ect. Copper would not be the best. I prefer the newer pex as it is easily installed and is simple for the do-it-yourselfer.

Good luck! On your venture .

Wirsbo Pex Pex piping has been around for about 40 years and used primarily in radiant heating. In the past ten years it has been used more and more for domestic potable water systems. It expands upon freezing, Doesn't burst.

Should be installed by a professional that is certified in it's installation, but will give a system that will outlast you.

NO plumbing is going to be fun in a crawl-space! But you can make it EASIER by using plastic pipes. You need the pipes, fittings, hack saw,knife, and a container of glue.

Not too much to haul around, and a LOT easier than the stuff need for copper; pipes, fittings, resin, solder, torch, hack saw, sandpaper. AND the plastic will not freeze as easily as copper, will be more forgiving if it DOES freeze, and will never corrode.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
