Flex hose return and overflow plumbing

[mark]

I had did my basement sump (drains and return) with a combination of Spaflex and rigid PVC and would do the same again.

Since Spaflex is PVC and sized to work with regular PVC fittings using both there's no problem in laying out or gluing together.

Some points from a professional installer:

• Don't use it if you want a clean looking install.
• So far as ease goes, that probably has more to do with your plumbing experience than the material -- I can plumb with rigid and fittings just as fast as I can with flex.
• Use a pump with sound dampening feet/pad and noise shouldn't be an issue.
• The fluid dynamics of your plumbing is almost not worth your consideration given how good powerheads have become.

In summary, if you're proficient with rigid plumbing, flex is a waste of your time and money.
