      I'd be so curious for them to test high- and low-density polyethylene.

    What does this mean for Pex and other plastic water mains?

      I was going to say, get a reverse osmosis filter, but then I looked up what themembranes are made of: polyamide. Not sure if that's an implicated type of plastic or not.
