Cleaning flexible and rigid PVC pipe

[richmgreen]

Hi. I am looking to find the best way to clean dirty flexible and rigid pvc lines between the filter and heat pump, etc. Just a cosmetic thing.

I searched the site, but couldn't find anything. Is there a product out there, or just water and dishwashing detergent?

Thanks
Rich

Try ZUD on pvc. I lightly sanded some too.

Painting PVC works the best. Hose it down, scrub it with a magic eraser, let it dry and then spray paint it. Pentair color is “khaki tan”, Hayward is typically dark grey. No idea what Jandy uses. Or pick your own color.

If you paint, get a satin or flat paint. They seem to stick better and don't show the flaws as much as the shiny stuff. I've use the +/- $1.00 a can Home Depot satin or flat black paint for years with great success.
