Best Answer
CPVC systems are chemically inert to most mineral acids, bases and salts, as well as aliphatic hydrocarbons. In addition, these systems are not subject to galvanic corrosion.
Which means that nothing in the CPVC dissolves into or reacts with your water or anything else already dissolved in your water.
So unless you're worried about having it catch fire, you'll be fine.
But if your plumbing is on fire you have bigger problems ...
