[QUOTE="-Pjackso, post: 2157281, member: 8119"] I tried soldering copper. I tried and tried and tried. I finally got it to work - but it was a pain. It's not as easy as most people say it is. * There's tricks to it, and practice makes perfect. I've done Pex and I love it. Economical, flexible, easy connections, no scaling buildup issues, doesn't care about acidic/hard water, freeze resistant (the pipe swells instead of bursting, then returns to normal when thawed). It's a no brainer for me - I used Pex. (Note: do not leave Pex in direct sunlight for more than 2 days. The piping doesn't like UV light.) Best of luck. * Within 3 posts, someone will say soldering is easy-breazy. [/QUOTE]
