not to mention the damage to PVC from freezing temperatures. (yes, even
buried)
I have a buried 1" PVC water line that runs from the house to my
mini-farm about 1000' away with another 500' running around the garden
area. I live in NH and have had no trouble with the line even though
I drive over it constantly with my Kubota tractor and occassionally my
pickup truck.
The line is 6" to 18" below the surface. I drain the system every
fall blowing it out with a compressor attachment.
So the claims that it will not hold up and will be damaged by freezing
temperatures do not seem valid if one takes appropriate cautions.
