Place to buy black flexible PVC
 

Hey all...after getting back from Princess Auto, with black Anti-Kink hose, then realizing that it's similar but still the wrong stuff I'm going to order all my parts online and get what I need.

Does anyone know of any Canadian company selling black flexible PVC, TigerFlex, Spa Flex or whatever you want to call it? I would like to find one with a decent selection of fittings too. I'm willing to paint the fittings black, but want the hose to come that way.

Thanks in advance!

I have seen it at garden stores (for pond applications) and at hot tub retailers.

Place to buy black flexible PVC
 

I bought my spaflex at a hot tub store, some of them only carry white but could probably order black for ya

They have the Flex PVC? I've been to every Rona and Home Depot in the city with no luck.

A lot of the local stuff I found was the really ribbed stuff on the outside. I don't think that works for us. The black flex I bought was from flexpvc.com and they allow orders by the foot.

The ribbed stuff seems to be for barbed fittings for ponds. It fits nicely in slip fittings, but I don't know if there would be enough surface contact. I'm going to take it back, and buy white tigerflex hose and paint it with black spray paint. I think that should be fine to do that.

Yeah I considered the risk to be too great. Not enough contact like you said. I'd just paint pipe nowadays too. I spent an arm and a leg for sch 80 and black flex and these days I'd rather spend on the components that will increase performance/health.

Depending if you have a Pro Source Irrigation in your area, thats what i use here.

but any hottub/pool place should have it aswell.

I checked hottube/pool places and most don't carry 1" and the few that did, definitely doesn't carry it in black.
I'll look around for a Pro Source Irrigation.

I got mine from my LFS. It was tough to get the flex pipe and the pvc together, and for added security, I used some clamps. No leaks and easier to move and reuse.
