So I've heard of it.... where can I get it in Van?
What is it called?

I'm trying to plumb in a frag tank into my system and because of the way my set up is it's easier to use something flexible than to make solid pvc angles.
I did find a short bend length at Home Depot with unions already glued to the end but it's bloody expensive and although it would cover my needs I'd rather just make the whole connection flexible.

Spa and hot tub places are good and cheap. Look up your nearest one.

Can try Corix in Richmond.

And it is called Spaflex

I did hear a rumour (not sure if it's true) that there is some of that flex that is not rated for chlorine or salt water use, so if there's an ability to find out, I'd ask.

Maybe in the tub, but not the hoses
It's just PVC

Make sure you buy some Weld-On 795 cement as you shouldn't use regular PVC cement

And check it out before you buy it to make sure it'll work for you as it's not as flexible as vinyl hose
