Last night I tapped into my HDPE service line to start an irrigation system.
The connection went like this:
1. HDPE service line from street
2. Flo-control adapter (HDPE to 1" spigot)
3. SCH40 1" coupling
4. 4-inch length of 1" SCH40 pipe
5. SCH40 tee -> off to backflow preventer and sprinkler
6. 4-inch length of 1" SCH40 pipe
7. SCH40 1" coupling
8. Flo-control adapter (1" spigot to HDPE)
9. HDPE service line to house
This morning the water tastes and smells funny - I recognize the smell; I think it's the PVC primer or cement.
Is that normal? Should it flush its way out, or do I need to do something different?
