You must make a decision between copper piping and CPVC once
you've picked out your outdoor shower enclosure design of choice. A
careful study is going to reveal a long and assorted list of good and
bad aspects of selecting each one of these materials, in particular with
regard to how much they cost and how durable they are. You should do
this when you think about which of the two materials you want to use.
Copper As A Choice
Copper provides a lot more flexibility than a number of other kinds of metal piping. Whatever might be in the way of running piping to your outdoor shower room, copper is much more easily maneuvered around them than other materials. It does not take long for the average person to get their copper water pipes run to their exterior shower rooms. The extra flexibility and the fire resistance of copper make it a great choice for earthquake prone places. Copper pipe is suitable for most household water temperature levels.
There are a few disadvantages to copper. Copper can break in freezing weather if it isn't properly insulated for the local climate. Occasionally copper will rust over time, leading to less water getting through. You need to be aware that any water you drink may be poisoned by copper that has been exposed to acidic water, even though it's not as much a concern for an outdoor shower enclosure.
Positives and Negatives of CPVC
As you might expect, CPVC doesn't cost as much as copper. It's better able to cope with acid and other corrosives. If you're doing your plumbing on your own, it's easier to work with this material than it is with copper. CPVC is non-conductive, so it will not carry electricity throughout its length. Additionally, you need not worry as much about thermal changes in your water as it passes through CPVC.
Of course, there are also some drawbacks to CPVC. CPVC can't handle a great deal of sunlight before it begins to become brittle. Put simply, you could lower your expenses up front on the costs, but at some point you might have to perform repairs and other basic maintenance on the plumbing. If you live in a climate that is either really hot or pretty cold certain times of the year, you may not only want to purchase a different type of pipe, but be mandated by law to do so.
Bottom Line
Both copper and CPVC are pretty common choices when plumbing for an outdoor shower enclosure. CPVC is less expensive. CPVC provides easy installation and is not changed much by acidic water. You can actually use either one.
