Flexible PVC is a unicorn

SallyWho · Aug 18, 2018

Man, I have called every pool and spa supply store within a 30 mile radius, and checked all the big box stores, and nobody's got flexible PVC that can be used with standard sch 40 PVC fittings! Where do y'all get this stuff?! Yeah, it's on the flexPVC website, but I don't need 300' of the stuff, and I don't really want to pay $100 for it either. BRS, Premium Aquatics, and Drs. Foster and Smith don't have any either. I take that back- Drs. F&S do have a little bit, but it's a corrugated pipe of set length with preinstalled PVC couplings on the ends, so you can't trim it to size if needed. And Amazon's got some...if you want it in 100' lengths, or if you don't care to wait until Valentine's day to get it. Anybody else have a source for this elusive prey?

I got mine at Lowes. 1 inch ID. It's not on their website though.

It is at Farm supply stores usually in the sprayers section.

And the home of all things tubing.

Farm supply stores, huh? Didn't think to check those. And I visited my local Lowe's (and Home Depot, and Sutherlands), and they had a lot of PEX and a lot of vinyl, but I'm looking for something I can just glue right into a pvc fitting. I'm a night shifter who is up waaaay past her bedtime, so I'll call around some farm supply stores on Monday. Thanks for the tip!

Should have mentioned that I need it in 1". They've got several options, but none of them appear to be 1". Although it's totally possible that I'm missing it. I've been up nearly 24 hrs and did a harsh workout this morning, so my brain isn't working at full capacity at the moment.
