Recommendations for Spa Plumbing

[imperator]

Reading up on how many say spa flex is bad for pools/spas. If you don't go with that, what's the best way to make sure you have centered PVC in a 9' round spa?

 

[Melt In The Sun]

Not sure what you mean by "centered". Do you mean keeping the pipe in the middle of the gunite, or....?

 

[imperator]

Yes ... in the middle of the gunite. It seems that it would be difficult to use 45's without having the pvc zig-zag and come fairly close to the edge of the gunite wall. Is heating/bending required?

I didn't know spa-flex would be a bad choice. Is it because of the joints?

 

[mas985]

There have been many people who have had flex eaten through by one critter or another so I would not recommend it for non-accessible areas.

My spa uses 45s

Depending on city code heat bending a pipe may not be allowed.
