Well...maybe not. Here's a bit of chapter and verse on polyethylene:
http://www.chemaxx.com/polytube1.htm
And I quote:
'During 2001, families that had just purchased newly constructed custom homes valued at about a half million dollars or more noticed that their drinking water smelled and tasted strange...In the course the investigation it was discovered that t-butanol and MTBE were showing up in the water...It turned out that the homes had been plumbed with cross-linked polyethylene tubing, commonly and generically referred to as PEX. After considerable investigation... it was determined that the source of these two chemicals was the tubing itself.'
So, just 'cos it's polyethylene doesn't make it, er, nice. It might be fine, but best to check up.
Have fun.
