Never heard of termite attack poly pipe. I have my poly pipe underneath soil for 10 yrs and there are garden termite the one with big head and house termite the one attack houses at my garden.

I dont think any animal can eat plastic or poly non-bio degradable things.

Resistance to Bio-degradation and attack

Polyethylene pipe is not known to be subjected to any form of microbiological corrosion. It has excellent resistance to the attack of termites, fungi, insects, or biological agents when it is buried in soil. Polyethylene does not support fungi and even relatively virulent fungi. Polyethylene has been tested for resistance to marine-biological attack and it was found that in their biochemical oxygen demand-type tests, Polyethylene was not utilized by bacteria.

It is easy method to check if your bathroom have good pressure or not. Ask your plumber to put a gauge on the tap and read what is the psi/bar. Anything above 40psi is good enough. This is general pressure maintain and suggest by forumner here. From here you can know pump or no pump. No need wait.

If don't want pump first, 3 hole from tank and 3 1" pipe to bathroom. Later want pump, just chop of and cap the pipe from tank. PVC pipe easy to modify and change.

Probably can get it at those plumbing hardware shop or those selling tools like compressor air equipment. Not normal hardware shop. Another is at shah alam. Selling pneumatic equipment. Google for SMC.

My working place have a lot this gauge lying around. Curi 1 put in my home too.
