Homeowner's Guide to PEX?
Crosslinked polyethylene tubing, also known as PEX, is a flexible water supply piping system that is ideal for replacing copper water lines. Common colors are red for hot water and blue for cold. It comes in either pre-cut lengths or in big rolls on spools. PEX is so flexible it can make 90 degree bends without elbow fittings, and its availability by the roll means fewer coupling are needed, as well. There is a large range of fittings available, designed to connect to existing water lines, including snap-on fittings. There are also manifolds to centralize the distribution of water lines.

Husband changed copper water pipes to plastic now water taste like glue can you fix?
The only sensible fix is to remove all plastic lines and replace with PEX, as should have been used in first place. PEX costs only marginally more than cheap plastics and will outlast them by years. Technique is different, you need a PEX coupling kit, about $27 including crimper, in Home Depot, whatever fittings were needed before will now be needed in PEX brass fittings. Attach to copper with 'Sharkbite' couplings.

What is a manafold on a water heater?
There is not a manifold on a water heater, they are installed after or with the heater. A manifold is a branch that allows several water lines to be hooked up to one supply. The new pex lines use a manifold, instead of the old way with copper where you just branch off the copper. Off of the hot line is a manifold that has 2--# , this way you can run, say, ten different lines off of the manifold to all the fixtures you have.
