    I have not.
    I have not even heard of it.
    I asked my supplier and they didn't know anything....

    Thinks I understand.
    1) It's extruded differently the HePex but is still pex-a (uponor developed a new method)
    2) it's made to be more competitive with other pex in the heating market (cheaper than its own HePex)
    3) it is non-potable ONLY, whereas I believe hePex now has the potable stamp on it.

    I've seen it on a couple of sites but there was nobody around to ask what it was like to work with.
