Copper is a well known bacteria killer in water. Typically Pex is used for most plumbing with copper ends. Older construction will have all copper indoor piping

- Waterluvian 4y agoI didn’t know that. I assumed that my Pex always terminates to copper because that’s basically the common interface for all fixtures being sold. But you’re suggesting it’s actually bacterial related? Or was that just a fun fact?
- ridgered4 4y agoI have a mixed system of PEX / Copper in my basement since they used that when installing the water softener. The pipes sweat during the summer and this resulted in mold on the PEX pipes. Copper pipes seem to resist it, which wasn't to surprising. I've heard copper top strips are sometimes used on roofs because the run off prevents moss and other things from growing atop the roof.
