HDPE piping? Really? I don't think that's the right choice for a pressure maintenance pump. Maybe for some other application, but not this one.

Black or galvanized steel piping sounds like the way to go. Can't go wrong with good ol' steel, right?

I'm not sure, but I think HDPE piping might also be acceptable for the pumps.

I'm pretty sure it's CPVC piping. That's the only one on the list that's explicitly listed as acceptable.
