Suggested Project Book
Check your water temp if it,s to hot could cause the smell. Had this problem with my basement floor
Can you describe the smell and taste? It is common for pex pipe to give off a plastic taste and smell, sometimes very strong. We got a carbon filter for drinking water and that got rid of the smell. If that is the taste and smell if should be gone within a few weeks.
Call the installation company. They should resolve the problem. Sorry you went with PEX.
