Saltwater And Copper Vs PVC


I recently worked with a customer who lives in Burlington County, NJ who also owns a shore house in Wildwood, NJ. She asked if I would install an outdoor shower there. My question is this: she has a problem with flooding so has anyone got a recco on what material I should use for plumbing (pvc or copper) since the pipes will be directly exposed to salt water very often?

Re: Saltwater And Copper Vs PVC


Our beach house has chrome fittings and pipe and so far has held up pretty well. But we also goto other beach houses that also have chrome fittings and pipe and they also seem to hold up pretty well so it's pretty commonly used. Of course when i say chrome i mean chrome coated copper.
