Is polypipe food safe, like for drinking water?

I wonder if you have answers to my questions: 1) Just today, the plastic barbed fitting broke off inside the poly pipe. How to take it out? 2) The poly pipe comes from the well house/pump, about 4' before house foundation it was connected to the Galvanized pipes and a hydrant. All of it rusted and needed to be replaced. Should I use Pex or copper? Pipes in the crawlspace are copper. 3) I also Thinking to lower the pressure tank and connect to the pump about 10' - 15' under the ground to eliminate heating well house in the winter season. My pipe runs about 6' under the ground. A) is it a good idea? B) how to do it? 4) Should I install another pressure tank under the house in the crawl space? The well is about 30 yards away from the house. Also I found a 5" PVC well pipe in the field. PVC pipe broken, leveled with the ground. What to use to close it, to prevent from debris to fall down? How to find if it has water and how deep? Also what camera to buy to inspect the well? What 4" pump and water tank brands and models are best?

Good job explaining . Thank you.

It is interesting to see your demonstration. Just for your information, on the Maxi Paw, those metal things that you use to adjust the radius pattern are called stops. The thing you called a pin is called a lever which is part of the reversing mechanism or assembly. It seemed you were not sure of what to call them as you went through it. I have been working with sprinklers like these since the 60's. Well anyway now you know. Thank you for your video.

Thank you - great summary!

Hello D's-P-S, ... do you ever utilize any TEFLON pipe sealant on your Hose Barbs ? COOP ...

I saw another TH-cam video about poly pipe that recommended against heating the pipe, because it could change the material properties that allow the pe to seal. I used a propane torch to warm the poly pipe before clamping, and it worked great. Clearly, many professionals appear to use heat. Thoughts?

Yeah this is pretty confusing. I live on a small hillside with a walkout basement. I’m going to have landscaping at a lot of different elevations and the back flow preventer is going to be in the middle of the entire elevation with irrigation below and above it. Now after watching this video I don’t know what to use

Thanks, this was useful and you guys are local to me, bonus.

Do you guys rent out a trencher for the black poly?

How many drip emitters can run on 1 line or one sprinkler station? Or is it up to a certain amount of gallons per hour?

still waiting for the moment you're gonna start showing "How to install a back preventer"!!!!!

Homedepot guy said you got to use the crimp, made no sense, my gut thought he was wrong and to use the screw driver gear clamp. But what do I know, I’m a photographer 😁. Switching gear clamp maybe that will resolve the fast drip leak. Edit: thanks for the non-dramatic video.

Is that clamp tool 60 foot-pounds or inch-pounds?

Thanks great information! Just what I was looking for.

Curious how this would perform for compressed air in shop.

Thank You

You should always use two gear clamps per side of any poly...

Enjoyed your video, very informative!

That didn't show me how to install one!

You forgot that CPS poly is polyethylene.

Nice intro but the real problem with poly is getting the the rib connector on and more importantly getting them off as to not loose pipe length. This you did not address. Why?

Good explainer video, I'm out of the area otherwise I'd certainly drop in for my purchase.

thank you for your videos! very useful!

Lol y’all right next door to us, come to church haha

can the hdpe pipe be glued to pvc fittings?

Very well done!
