Had a real good conversation with the Water Company field service technician concerning our install and he brought up a water turnover issue that I had not previously considered. We are running approximately 850ft of pipe from the meter to the build site and calculated a 1-1/2" poly line line off a 1" meter to meet our needs given the supply pressure, fixture count and elevation rise.
He mentioned we are towards the end of the branch line from the plant and had concerns of the chlorine concentration in a 1.5" line as we are not going to have a heavy water supply demand (2 of us in the house with some livestock in the pasture). I have not heard of, nor considered the water turnover within the pipe, he said from a safety standpoint a 1-1/4" supply line might be a better choice. Any thoughts?
