For those of you using spaflex

LOL, I spent about 20 mins at home hardware today trying to get from 1.5" slip to 1" threaded for a barb fitting. Man oh man, I love the challenge. I got it down to only 3 fittings!

Then of course I got home and changed my mind about how I wanted the plumbing so I had to go back for more PVC. Pain in the arse all those little 3" bits of PVC to join unions and valves to stuff, didn't account for that part.

I think I'll let the water run overnight. It will be like Christmas tomorrow morning! (unless of course the tank develops a leak which all our new ikea kitchen, piled in front of the tank, sucks up)

No no no. Don't think like that! There will be no leaks!

I'm still trying to once again get used to that sinking feeling as I walk down the stairs and hear water moving in my tank. Praying it's all moving on the INSIDE of it.

LOL, yeah I have a tuned ear for it now. Especially if one of the pumps sounds "off".

My "glass" is half full today!

Just a hint.

When working on a plumbing project go to your local HD or Rona and pick up the fittings you have planned and at least 25% more than the plan. This will help to eliminate those extra trips in the middle of your project. HD and Rona allow you to return the unused items once the project is completed.

There is a Glue specific for Spa Flex. I believe the primer is the same. I did not use the regular PVC Glue so I'm not sure how well it works.

I also heated the oven to about 150F and would place the spa Flex in the oven to sofen it up.

Actually sometimes I find the break required by the extra trips helps keep the frustration levels down Besides, I seem to lose the receipts about 30seconds after the cashier gives them to me so taking stuff back is a bit of a crap shoot.

I once returned 2 different fittings in the span of an hour and got it third try. The girl at the counter thought I was a dumbass I'm sure.
