Flexible PVC Pipe

[Reef Pets]

Does anyone know where to purchase Flexible PVC pipe? I have found it online but no where local such as Home Depot.
Thanks!

Our HD has it but they are expensive. I think Savko had the best price. I ordered mine from them.

I thought that the local Home Depot would have it also. I looked around and after not finding it I ask the plumbing department manager if they carried it. I looked at me like I was talking a foreign language and argued that there is no such thing as Flexible PVC...
I will check out the pricing of Savko.

I've seen it at Lowe's and HD around here.. its called spa flex and its used for pools/hot tubs. They should have it, typically stored higher on the shelves. Best of luck.

Check out www.flexpvc.com also look at your local pool and spa vendors. That is where I got all of mine. Be aware that if you are trying to make tight turns it still takes a bit of room to make them. I like mine so far.

Agreed, the residual pressures left in the flex pvc in tight turns has enough potential to cause a stress fracture on glass.

For my application the flex pipe will be going to four stock tanks. I plan to use 45s od 90s if the pressure get to be too much.

I am going to try a spa store thats in town. I would try a website for it but I plan to set these tanks up completely this week..... I hope!

Another decent web site I'll add to my favorites in case I don't find what I need locally and as a reference to what I need. Thanks RyanG

why not get pex instead of flexible PVC? Its cheaper AND you can use quick disconnect fittings :D. No 90's are required nor unions. 100ft is like $20 at Home Depot. I am just asking. I do have some extra 3/4" flex spa tubing if you want to pay shipping.....

*edit I should mention that I used flex spa on my tank because I didnt want to buy 100ft of pex. With that said I ran pex with the quick disconnects in my house. Been through 1 winter so far and no leaks to be found knock on wood.
