plumbing ?

[hoycetee]

what do you use to attach pvc pipes, is regular pvc cement safe to use?

 

[ebsochin]

yes. just make sure you wash the plumbing out before you use it in your complete system.

Yep regular PVC cement will work just fine

I Also Had This Same ?. Do You Use Pvc Cement On All Joints? Ex. Bulkheads,pump Connection. I Was Just Wondering How You Could Seperate Pvc If A Problem Occured.
Thanks, The Dumber Plumber

try not to cement all joints. design it before you cement it. you will want to be able to take it apart if something should get clogged or damaged. This comes from past experience, trust me on this one.

Lots of unions and ball valves...You need to think everything through when it comes to cleaning and breaking down the tank.

I have to disagree with no glueing all your joints.....You could be in for disaster after a bit with that method......Like Golfish said carefull planning and valves and unions carefully thought out and place will make it easy to take apart for cleaning and at times you do just have to hack it apart to modify the system
