Spaflex, got mine from a couple of different Hottub places in town. Uses regular PVC fittings, did all my joints with regular PVC primer and cement though have seen suggested use the special Spaflex PVC cement .

+1 The clear cement that you use on spaflex has a little more elasticity to the bonding than the grey, which is better since the pipe itself has some elasticity. Plus it's clear and can be used on the rigid PVC as well so makes for cleaner joins.

Check out Gregs distributors. Its about half of what the hottub places are charging. They call it something else tho. I thinks its like tiger flex or something. Same stuff different name. Gregs has an online catalog that you can go through thats how I found it.
