What exactly is superpex? if its a plastic, it is safe IF it is inert! if its reactive in any way its best to skip it.

I believe that in order for lines to carry potable water (as in this case) they have to be inert. Otherwise it would poison the drinking water. But call the manufacturer to be sure.
