This was a really helpful breakdown of where copper still makes sense versus when PEX/PVC is the smarter choice. I appreciated the mention of water chemistry and galvanic corrosion since that gets glossed over a lot in “copper vs plastic” debates. The only thing I wished for was a quick note on typical lifespans or failure points for PEX and CPVC, but overall it’s a solid, practical guide.
Nice, straightforward breakdown of when copper makes sense versus PEX/PVC, especially the note about water chemistry and galvanic corrosion. I appreciated that it didn’t oversell one option and actually mentioned code and real-world install conditions. Would’ve liked a quick callout on typical lifespan expectations for PEX vs copper, but overall this was helpful.
