Even in a house completely repiped with plastic fittings and PEX there are many other components that could be damaged. I would treat the water as well as install piping that is not effected by the acidity of the water.

Maybe he just bought his pex from people who store it like this........This pic was taken today at a supply house. I have not and will never buy pex from these people. I've told them about their problem atleast 6 months but they dont seem to care,today I didn't say anything. Not my problem.

They'll start to care when they get sued. Our suppliers suddenly started refusing refunds on any pex a few years back. Apparently someone stored pex badly (outdoors - not covered) at their shop and then returned it to the supplier, who resold it to someone else. It failed, and the lawyers had a field day.

There was a bad batch of Waterline products, including 1/2" pex 90's and 3/4" x 1/2" pex tee's. If they are Waterline brand, change them out! More breaks to come!
