In this thread I panicked because water from my new plastic plumbing tasted like I was drinking pure, liquid plastic.
Magiver pointed out that my first drink was from the garden hose. My new, industrial strength garden hose.
Today they hooked up the indoor plumbing and I took a drink.
No plastic taste
I never did find out if I have pex or pvc but I don’t care. My water is delicious!

Glad that it wasn’t a problem. It’s probably Pex which is so easy to install and works so well, I’d hate to have anyone think that it produces nasty tasting water. Hard to imagine that anyone would deliberately install PVC for anything other than drain lines these days is Pex is an option.
And, apparently, the taste before was rubber. Rubber hose.
