Best pipe material for filter air scour header pipe?
(OP)
I am adding air scour to an existing, rapid sand filter at a municipal water treatment plant. What is the best (or traditionally most used) pipe material for the air header pipe?
The blower will be located outside in a small blower building. About 25 feet of pipe will be buried. Will need around 100 ft of 8 to 10 inch pipe. Pressure will be around 10 PSI with a volume of around 1500 scfm.
Plastic/PVC Schedule 80? Schedule 10 Stainless Steel? Carbon/Black steel?

Double check things with the filter/air scour grid manufacturer to make sure you have appropriate connections and drop sizes.
