Home Depot Colored Schedule 40 PVC PIPE?

[CC13]

I have seen many threads where multiple people swear they don't use primer.
The reasoning is that aquarium use is such low pressure, there is no need for primer.
I tend to believe the argument as it makes sense.

Your correct but primer doesn’t just held weld the fittings together it also cleans the PVC from any oils and contaminants.

I always lightly sand, chamfer, prime and then glue. I have yet to have a leak and I have glued well over 1,000 fittings and pipe in my time.

Instead of primer I use the clear PVC cleaner. No need to prime on low pressure aquarium fittings

I used purple formufit from Home Depot because it was cheapest. Free shipping and local returns! No issues. Use clear primer to keep everything looking nice
