Did those little girls help you haul the tank into the house?

I use a combination of both depending on the application. For the most part I use all hard PVC, but when I need bends or a curve I'll try to use spa flex.

i'm almost always hard too.

If there's a really bendy spot to navigate I'll use hose/flex such as when i put my return and drains through my floor into the basement.
