Did you find any pvc for your sump build? Im also looking to find the correct type of pvc that pvc sump makers use.

I’ve bought pvc board from this place, and while it can be used for wet applications, it’s not as dense as the pvc that is used to make sumps and skimmers, etc. this stuff will hold a scre but you can easily compress it when you screw below the surface, so it’s not really what im looking for.
