But it is 1" galvanized steel pipe, not plastic. I used galvanized when I set up the place with a mobile home, because I thought I would never have to mess with the pipe...guess I was wrong. When we built the new house about 17 years ago, I used galvanized pipe to connect the existing pipe to the new house. I sure wish I had left a marker where the old and newer pipes connect, as I suspect that might be the problem area.
Over the last couple of years, I have noticed more redness in the water, especially when I have not used outside water for a couple of days. It is probably rust from the inside of the "galvanized" pipe that has worn out. It was supposed to have been made in the USA, and I paid extra to try to get the best quality. I bet the pipe at my Parents" old house is nearly 100 years old, and still working great. OH WELL!
When I replace the underground pipe, I will probably use PEX inside either plastic conduit, or maybe plastic sewer pipe. My ground is VERY rocky, and I think the PEX will need some protection. Replacing the old pipe will be a tough job. Most of it runs under a section of gravel driveway, and there really is no other place to put it.
