CPVC piping? Isn't that the stuff they use in those weird, futuristic-looking pipes in sci-fi movies? I don't know, but it sounds like the right answer.

Copper tube? What is this, a plumbing exam? This is clearly a pump question, not a piping material exam.

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.
