I think a lot of hot tub/sauna places carry spa flex. I get mine from Western Pump in the south east. Might be a tad far for you though. The good thing about Western Pump is that they sell everything else from pvc fittings, valves to cement. One stop shopping for my plumbing (except for gate valves).

+1 to Western Pump. I know when I was in town thats where I'd go if I couldn't find what I was looking for anywhere else.

I think I'll just make a trip out of it and go to Western Pump. I wonder if they're open today?

**edit**
Maybe not. I apparently left my wallet at a friend's last night. Oops.

Yes, but ... I assume that the depth is not really going to only be 1' 11-1/4" right ?

Also no worries about forgetting your wallet, Western Pump wouldn't have been open anyhow. They're in the Foothills industrial area and run typical hours for businesses over there - M-F/8-4 and Saturday is only 9-1.

I've kind of always been under the impression (and I don't know where I got it from) that Western pump just did fittings and rigid PVC! I'll hit up Gregg and Western Pump once the tank is in the house. I just don't want to pay the mark-up that I know some retailers put on their plumbing supplies, I'm cheap like that. Is SpaFlex a trade name?

I'll find a Saturday to go fill up my car with plumbing parts and fittings, and then when I inevitably forget some key part or piece I'll make a second, and then a third trip back on out.

Depth is still going to be 2ft, and width of 3ft. I never really looked at the numbers, just stared, drooled, and fantasized about how awesome this tank is going to look when its all done and starting to grow in.

I'm not sure if it's a trade name but if you ask for spaflex or flex PVC at the counter they will know what you mean. You specify a length, they go back and come back out with it in hand. The fittings and such are just in the aisles but the spaflex and a few other specialty fittings (ie., John Guest and so on) tend to be in the "you have to ask for it" category.

Oh ok, I see that the numbers in the drawing are correct after all, it's just confusing how they labelled them then sort of overlaid the labels so I misread which one was which.
