Look at the properties of these materials.

However, you may need to check the water chemisty as well to find what causes the acidity for the suitability of carbon steel.
I am not an expert in this area, you will probably get expert advice in the forum.

I appreciate your answers and in fact i shall use plastic pipe (HDPE) for the longest pipe, but for the suction and discharge spool from pumps i need metallic pipe, i bet stainless steel 304 is a good option, but i need to support technically my client why i can use carbol steel as ASTM A53, it's involve cost so it's important define that, i hope you can understand and help me
