No one uses spa flex for irrigation too by the way. Flex PVC is different than spa flex
 
Y'all make no sense. And evidently you think it only , lol, applies to irrigation.

Look at the pics I sent. The Spa-flex is the curved tubing with the little lines you see connected to regular PVC fittings with glue. I've been installing tanks with this material for over 15 years. Maybe we are talking about 2 different things? To anyone that knows what I'm talking about, I DO MAKE SENSE!
 
And flexible PVC can be found very cheap on amazon. I 50ft of 1" super flex for just under $50.
Your finding seemed too good to be true, lol.
I just looked up on Amazon for "super flex PVC ", the only hose that popped up was a pool vacuum type of hose. This is not what I'm talking about. What I am talking about can be found on Amazon, but under Spa-flex PVC. I found 50 ft of 3/4" for under $50. But the 1" was around $150 for 100ft. So I figure about $75 for 50 ft is more like it, if not pass me the link you saw?

I take that back, sorry. I found it in another link at $44.95 for 50ft of 1", so you are right bro and thanks. Next time I'll know where to buy! Anyone interested flexiblePVC.net. They even carry the new ultra flexible PVC, awesome stuff!

similar to this. No "kink-free" ribs like your stuff or the spa flex. ;) much more flexible. No "spring-back" properties.
 
Look here "fireboy" Google works miracles in the form of knowledge. Use it. Don't get stuck to one way of ... Doing things.
 
I am a plumber by trade. Been doing it for 15 years. There are plastic pex fittings. Use the plastic fittings and stainless steel cinch rings. Cinch rings all use 1 tool from 1”-3/8”. The tool is only $18 on Amazon.
