Given the info here there doesn&#39;t seem to be any indication of what our best choice of pipes to be using. It is a civic water supply and don&#39;t believe there to be an acidity issue so thinking copper should be our safest choice.

It would be great to hear your insights! Thanks! </p> <img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=35992" width="1" height="1">
