We lived there for 17 years and my father never touched the plumbing other than perhaps replacing a faucet. That was on the west side of Detroit and the house was fed with Detroit City water which is known for being very soft. I didn't know what a water softener was until we moved away from there. I prefer copper, although PVC is not bad. It will be interesting to see how these new PEX systems hold up in 25 years or so.
