I wonder what keeps the water inside of PVC pipe when pressurized to 100 PSI plus with no leaks but lets water at a couple PSI, at most, get in from the outside if not pressurized with compressed air on the inside. Another one of the things that can make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Here’s a data point: I have used underground PVC conduit for many years with no water 
ingress.  There are two runs, about 100’ each.  Both are 3” PVC, chemically welded and 
plowed into the ground by a sprinkler company.  After 7 years, I pulled the cables out and they were 
dry as a bone.

Hi Perry, any conduit will end up with water inside unless it is
pressurized.
