plumbing return pump

[rickycobra]

What do you guys use to plumb your return pumps to your pvc return line? I just got my pump today and was wondering what to use. I have 1" pvc running from my sump back to the tank, and a cap 3000 for a return pump, with a ball valve. thanks,ricky

1" white flex spa pvc. Got that idea here. It is quiet and eliminates the need for some elbows/ bends.

Christine ... where did you find the flex PVC at? I checked a local Home Depot and didn't find it. I saw the standard stuff SCH 40, I think... what's the flex stuff called?
Thanks.

It comes on these large rolls. They have an aisle for the hoses and tubing that they sell by the foot, (plumbing area). They have to cut it for you. This stuff is called spa flex. It does fit the standard rigid pvc connections (tees, elbows, etc) and uses pvc primer and cement. Very user friendly. It is the most expensive of the tubing, but it is very thick and very good quality.
