I used PVC about a year ago and have made over 850 Liters with NO issues.
Thanks astdb i will make a copper one i was considering it at first but seemed a harder job more expensive plus the cpvc one could pull apart for easy cleaning if need be.
If you have already made a pvc one why not try that for a while and see it it works or not? better not to waste the effort.Thanks astdb i will make a copper one i was considering it at first but seemed a harder job more expensive plus the cpvc one could pull apart for easy cleaning if need be.
had no idea cpvc is difficult to find in Australia.
The amount of info originating from the U.S unsurprisingly floods the internet..

i was cleaning a bunch of things today and decided to put the new copper manifold into a oxyper bath. (sanitizing powder) and it started fizzing like mad. Is this a good thing? am i cleaning it, or am i doing something bad to the copper?
Mine's a stainless steel braid - really easy and cheap to build but from what I've read, slightly lower efficiency than a copper mannifold. The braid will cost about $15 - you just buy a s/s braided hose from the hardware store, cut off the connector ends and pull the rubber hose out. Then re-attach one of the connectors to one end with a s/s hose clamp and fold the other end over. Done.
The rest is the same as the copper manifold.
