Correct. If you have white irrigation pipes then you either are up North and have pottable water for irrigation or somewhere along the line your irrigation system was changed and the plumber or irrigation person used white PVC.

The only reason for the pink PVC is to indicate non-pottable water so a plumber, irrigation person or anyone else doesn't mix them up.

Either way, I've seen a few homes where the irrigation joints failed over time because when they build these homes, sometimes they rush and mess up the joints.

If they fail you will definetly notice it.
