Garry;

Are the metal fragments you found in the PVC ferrous or non-ferrous? 
(See if they are attracted to a magnet or not.) Are you using the 
blue-green sewer PVC or the white schedule 40 variety?

By any chance do you install insulating discs inside the coilform? 
(To prevent internal arching?)
