So, what about that PEX pipe? How does that hold up in sunlight?



Normal PEX is not UV resistant.
There exists specialty PEX that, apparently, is

Why not just use an old garden hose ?

This is the reason I posted this question in the first place. To learn
the pros and cons of what material will work best. Thanks to you, I can
see where the standard PEX will not work real well. Buying that special
stuff will probably not be feasible, or cheap, and I'm guessing I'd have
to buy a lot more than I need.

Their 2014 PDF shows 1/2" at $.76 per foot and 3/4" at $1.38 per foot.
But it dont say roll sizes, or shipping (from Canada)....

I think I am going to just use a garden hose. Even if it only lasts a
few years, hoses are cheap enough and wont be hard to replace.

Note that AL-PEX is not freeze resistant, it's
the regular kind that is freeze resistant.
