So if you have made the decision to use stainless HXs and bronze pumps, what does oxygen barrier PEX actually do for you?

And the sludge you are describing, where does this come from? I know that in the iron pipe days, sludge was a fact of life, but where would it actually come from? Is it bacteria growing?

Sounds like an in-line filter would be a must.
