Re: CL2 migration through poly tubing
Optimizing chlorine gas feed systems for pools is NOT a topic for discussion here, outside this section!
Using PE on gas feed systems, even though it gets "very brittle" . . . is NOT something I'll ever recommend!
Buying Chinese made PE tubing from Lowes to use on chlorine gas feed systems is even worse. I've already -- personally and expensively -- had my belly FULL of problems and expense directly due to erratic product quality control on Chinese-made, Lowes-sold and (Watts branded) plumbing parts.
Pat, I'm not sure why you want to post this stuff here.
+ It's not relevant to residential pool use.
+ It does not reflect professional practice.
+ It's not safe.
+ It's not of any value (that I can see) to anyone here.
If your buds want to use PE with chlorine gas, and put that tubing in a confined space, that's on their heads. But if they want help from us on whether gas can migrate . . . nope, not going there. The ONLY recommendation from here is that they REMOVE the PE and replace it with something that's fully compatible with safe transport of chlorine gas, wet or dry. From the charts, it appears CPVC meets those requirements, and it's widely available.
It's the China Shop, so you may continue if you like. But, I can't imagine why you'd want to do so.
