Any Solar Water Heater installers in Tulsa

Pex is good stuff.  For faucet connection, should be very good.  Used a lot in RV's, too.  I have used it in a couple of small projects and have mixed feelings.  There is some "forgiveness" to freezing if unpressurized, but the fittings used seem to be more fragile - have had a couple fittings freeze when the pipe didn't.  Also, the pex is rated to 150 psi at 75 degrees, but only 100 at 180 degrees.  That is kind of low for me to be comfortable with....but that is not where I have had problems, so it probably is ok.

Pex is EASY to work with.  Extremely easy.  And even the crimping tool is reasonable if doing a bunch of it.  I haven't had to yet, but it could happen any day.  Have used the crimp and tighten fittings.

Have seen several "softener" systems that basically are corrosion tools - designed to make your system corrode. 

Old galvanized corrodes and rusts from the inside, eventually blocking flow and giving little or no pressure at the faucet.  Love the idea, but not the implementation.  Copper tubing is the solution.  Almost as easy as pex, with just a little practice, and never have to worry about temperature/pressure.

Water heaters - yeah, they should be drained periodically, but most people don't even know that needs doing.  Still, the leak inside the burner tube that drips down on the burner is a rust function.  And all the calcium in the world won't stop that.  They will rust out in a fairly well defined manner for the most part because they are a "calibrated" steel thickness that won't go much beyond the warranty just so you will buy another one in a semi-predictable time frame.
