Plumbing question

[Meadowlane]

I am trying to do the plumbing in my return sump. Just want to know if I'll use flexy tubes or PVC pipes? What are the pros and cons of both. Ty.

I would use the clear vinyl tubing you eliminate 90's but i like it better then pvc (make sure you use clamps. when pvc is done right it looks clean and neat. I guess its preferenc really

I was looking at the black flexy tube. Metal clamps or plastic?

 

[Tonyscoots84]

plastic...

I am using basic clear vinyl hoses, but only for a short run to the tank and from until it goes to PVC

Is there. Difference between a PVC and a tube? Or just preference?

 

[Tonyscoots84]

preference.... and also head pressure.

for example if you look at the drawing i drew with the setup on the left with all pvc you are looking at 3 90's which is 270 degrees in bends which factors into alot more head pressure then the one on the right with one 90 degree and whatever in the flex which shouldnt be that much and is easier to work with and if done right still looks nice, if done right
