AquaSeal uses only cross-linked polyethylene tubing. Known as PEX, cross-linked polyethylene offers distinct advantages over both metal piping materials and other plastic alternatives. Our pipe is virtually maintenance free. It is corrosion resistant, flexible, and remarkably clean. Long used worldwide, PEX has an outstanding and unblemished track record of quality performance. PEX's cross-linked molecular structure offers toughness and lasting durability. Our cross-linked polyethylene piping withstands temperatures ranging from below freezing to above the boiling point. Because it is pliable, a 1/2" section of pipe can be cold bent into a 3" radius without affecting tubing integrity. The material is highly crush resistant and can be submerged in concrete or earth without any damage.

- What are the advantages of AquaSeal pex over traditional materials (copper, steel, cpvc)?
- Does AquaSeal pex plumbing cost more than traditional products (copper, steel, cpvc)?
- What is the best way to plumb with AquaSeal pex?
- How is AquaSeal pex pipe connected?
- Is any connecting method considered a better choice?
- Will chlorine cause AquaSeal pex to break down and leak?
It lasts longer, installs easier and resists corrosive water. Plus AquaSeal Pex is nontoxic and is free from harmful lead.
AquaSeal Pex is at least 50% less costly than copper or cpvc.
The neat thing with pex is you have three options. Home run, modified home run or traditional branch and tee. Each method has its benefits and negatives.
Crimped, clamped, pressed compressed
The connecting method is usually slected by the plumber, based on the system he likes the best. We prefer the Pinchlok clamping system because one tool can do four pipe sizes and has a 30 warranty.
AquaSeal Pex is manufactured to meet the new Chlorine standard ASTM F2023
