Perfect for Hot Tub Applications
Ideal for Retrofit and Repairs
The flexibility of this pipe makes it perfect for retrofitting existing systems or making repairs in tight spaces where rigid pipe would be difficult to install.
Suitable for Various Hot Tub Components
This 0.75″ flexible PVC is ideal for connecting various hot tub components such as pumps, heaters, filters, and jets.
Resistant to Hot Tub Chemicals
PVC is known for its excellent resistance to chemicals commonly used in hot tub water treatment, ensuring the longevity of your plumbing system.
Temperature Tolerant
Designed to handle the warm water temperatures typical in hot tub environments, this pipe maintains its integrity and performance over time.
How It Works in Your Hot Tub System
The 0.75″ Flexible PVC pipe serves multiple functions in a hot tub plumbing system:
- Component Connections: Easily connect pumps, heaters, filters, and other components with smooth, kink-resistant runs.
- Jet Supply Lines: Deliver water to jets efficiently, even in tight or curved spaces.
- Air Lines: Can be used for air lines in systems with air-injected jets.
- Drain Lines: Ideal for creating easily accessible and routable drain lines.
Installation Tips
- Measure Carefully: While flexible, it’s still important to measure and plan your runs carefully.
- Use Appropriate Fittings: Ensure you use fittings designed for flexible PVC to maintain system integrity.
- Support Properly: Use appropriate pipe supports to prevent sagging, especially on longer runs.
- Avoid Sharp Bends: While flexible, extremely sharp bends can restrict flow and should be avoided.
- Secure Connections: Use appropriate clamps or connectors to secure the pipe at connection points.
Benefits of Using Flexible PVC
Easy Installation
The flexibility allows for easier installation, especially in tight spaces or when navigating around obstacles.
Reduced Need for Fittings
Long, continuous runs can often be achieved without the need for multiple rigid fittings, potentially reducing leak points.
Vibration Absorption
The flexible nature of the pipe can help absorb pump vibrations, potentially reducing noise in your hot tub system.
Cost-Effective
The ability to make long, custom runs without multiple fittings can lead to cost savings in both materials and labor.
