Schedule 80 PVC is commonly used in water treatment systems and is safe for potable water when it is NSF/ANSI 61 certified. It is widely used for cold water applications such as well water systems and filtration equipment.
CPVC is typically used for hot and cold water plumbing inside homes. Local plumbing codes vary, so for interior household plumbing, materials like PEX, copper, or CPVC may be required.
For water treatment equipment and outdoor or well system installations, Schedule 80 PVC is a durable and widely accepted option.
