Im not sure what IPP out there is like, but in Kelowna and Vancouver, I find their prices a little steep to say the least!!! I find its like going to designer bed and bath type stores to buy a sink that you could buy at any hardware store for less than half the price....
Shop Around!
In this age of the internet we often forget to pick up the yellow pages and look under plastic suppliers.... Its a wonderfull thing really....

ive never been to this store, but i will give it a try as long as its not ridiculous expensive i think i can scrape up the extra pennies besides clear pvc would be kinda neat i should think:wink:

I've picked some up a couple of times at Homedepot and at Rona. Just something to be aware of, I stopped using clear pvc because I got wicked algae growth in the pipe that started to severely restrict the flow. I had to take the plumbing apart every 4-5 months to clean it out.

Have you tried Johnson Plastics or GE? Clear pvc is not cheap.

Since when did cheap and reefing come together LOL. If someone had told me how much I would spend to "enjoy" my hobby I would have just had them poke me with a sharp stick. It would have been much less painful :lol:
