Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use flexible PVC hose or regular rigid pvc to build my pond?

Flexible PVC hose is very common because it is much easier to install than rigid PVC pipe.  Instead of needing to glue in fittings for every turn or bend like with rigid PVC, the flex pipe can just bend on it’s own like a garden hose. This is very convenient for hooking up to filters, skimmers or other equipment at odd angles.  The larger the diameter, the less flexible the pipe will become, so for very tight spaces and bends, 2” or less is the most flexible.  There are a few downsides however.  Flexible PVC isn't naturally as strong as rigid PVC.  However, flexible pipe can still be buried with quite a bit of force on it and it's not going to bend or break.  Some contractors will still choose to use rigid pipe though for the ultimate in durability.  We have heard reports of termites eating through flexible PVC pipe in certain areas.  If you believe you might have a termite problem where you live, you may want to consider rigid PVC instead since the termites aren’t able to eat through the hard plastic as easily.  One thing to make sure with flexible PVC pipe is to use fittings meant for Schedule 40 pipe rated for pressure - these fittings have a larger glue up area needed for flex PVC.
