therompex $18/ft vs. rhinopex @ $28.45/ft . This is twin "1.25 tubing. Is the rhino worth the extra $$$'s? I'll check this later tonight. Thanks for the input

I've read about both and spoken to multiple people about this. I ended up going with the Thermopex 1" dual pex @ $12/ft (80' total) in the end. The Rhinopex may be a bit more flexible but the cost may not justify. There some posts here that support my decision too. I live in PA. My outdoor temps don't come near what you come up against up there. As you've heard many times I'm sure, better safe than sorry. I decided to buy the good stuff so that you don't have to revisit after burying. From the manual, it states that the min depth for Thermopex is only 12" which will save you time in installing. That stuff is solid. It will not take on any water if buried properly.
