Has anybody ever seen these pipes in the US? Any idea of when they were first intorduced into the US market? Seem to be problem free...any reason to dispute that? Thanks

Average water bill in summer with no leak = less than $150 month. Not the pool. 2" main water line pouring into the desert at depth of five feet is (was) the problem. No tracer on the line and no way to find leak until ground saturated. Not a pleasant experience at all. Thanks for reply.

First leak happened July 2012. Only way to know it is when you get the $3,500 water bill from hell. Line is 2,000 feet from meter to house. Property is desert. No way to find leak until water surfaces which took almost two months. Could not cut off water since $100k of landscapping would...

Just want to recover the $30k I have spent on water bills and plumbers to fix leaks and ultimately replace line. 30 K??? Who do you use for your plumbing? And how long do you let something leak before you fix it? For 30 K you could repipe the house, which is probably also in PB if the main line...

HJ I am thinking I will have to spend more money to get pipe dug up until I find piece with markings. The black is definitely part of the pipe, not result of water. If it is polybutylene, it was banned in 1998 for residential use in USA. I think that would give me the leverage to get...

Funny!!! Since you are expert plumber, what say you? Have several plumbers telling me it is Big Blue or Blue Max, but I can not find pictures of pipe like the piece I have. Blue exterior, black interior. Thanks Linda

Where did you find picture of blue exterior pipe with black interior? That is what I need. I have the pictures you sent and it looks like my pipe, but my pipe does not have markings on it. Appreciate your help.

Don L Thanks for post. Have tried to get records. They only keep three years so SOL there. City did not install the line. It is in county on private road, so it was done by local plumber. I believe he used banned pipe just to get rid of it and thought he might get away with it. Need to...

Have replaced 100 feet of line from house to meter. Just need to ID this pipe. What is it....blue with black inside. Have been told it is Big Blue or Blue Max but can find no pictures of said Big Blue pipe. Thanks

Could youplease look at my post from yesterday and tell me if this is the same pipe you were talking about. Blue outside black inside. Thanks

HJ Statute of limitations on defective construction is 8 years in AZ, so I can sue that way, especially if it is Big Blue PB. I just need to know what the darn things is. There are no markings on the pipe piece I have. It is blue exterior and interior is black. Will attach pictures.

Have house in Tucson built 2005. Have had three exensive main water line leaks over past two years. Pipe is blue on outside and black on inside. Various plumbers have told me it was Big Blue but I cannot find pictures of that to confirm it. If it is Big Blue I may have some recourse to sue...
