Due to a problem with iron reducing bacteria, among other things, I am installing a Chlorinator to treat well water. My system will include a chlorinator, well pressure tank, a contact tank, a filter, a carbon filter, and a water softener.
My house is currently plumbed with galvanized pipe from the pump to the pressure tank, PEX from the pressure tank to the current water softener, and copper pipe throughout the remainder of the house.
Is there a correct pipe material (CPVC, PEX, Copper, etc) that I should be using between the pressure tank and the carbon filter, where there will be high chlorine exposure? I am mostly concerned with corrosion and chemicals leaching into my drinking water. The pH of my water is 7.0.
Thanks.
