Flex pvc for new pool

[TyTyTy]

Hi,
My installer only uses flex PVC for pools. I have read all about rigid and flex and it seems most installs seem to use rigid.

However, I am having a hard time finding flex PVC online. The prices are also dramatically different site to site. Does anyone know where I can order flex pipe at a good price? I need 400 ft. 1.5 or 2 inch is fine depends on price difference. Thank you!!

We dont recommend Flex PVC(more trouble on the long run). Everything can be done with rigid PVC. If your installer does not want to do it, i highly suggest you look for another one!

tytyty, run away from flexflexflex as fast as you can. Insist on hard piping. You will meet a lot of resistance. Flex makes it easy for installers but only hurts your quality and longevity.

Your installer is lazy. Tell him to use rigid PVC. You are the one who will end up with the problems in a few years.

Here is an example of a pool problem that would not have happened if she had not used flex PVC against our advice...

I cleaned my DE filter today. It was time. I have a GSD (Cecil) who absolutely loves this pool. I can not keep him out. He will go nuts if we use the pool without him. I was looking at my pressure n it was reading it was time to clean. Tore it apart, hosed everything off and put it back...

I was looking into flex PVC for my AG pool since the store hard piped the filter in a way that it doesn't look good. Sounded like a great product to use, I did a lot of reading and I came up to the conclusion it isn't worth it and that's on an AG pool. I wouldn't use it for IG.
