Clear Plastic

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know where I can get clear plastic tubing, the kind that you'd see in a skimmer to check water levels? I'm interested in making a DIY skimmer, but would want the water level visible. Any help would be appreciated.

TIA,

For really small tubings, you can get it from Petco. They are used for undergravel filter (rigid air tubing)

For larger tubing, you can order from USPLastics or local plastic supplyer.

Wings, You can get any size you want at canal plastics on canal street. RIP Industrial plastics, they were better and cheaper.

What diameter are you looking for? The small stuff can be found are most home improvement stores, usually up to 3/4" OD. Hose fitting and the like are usually near by. Larger OD clear PVC and acrylic probably would need to be ordered. What I remember seeing is 5 ft min lenght on purches. US plastics would be one place to look.

I would just use some clear 1/4" OD RO line and a couple JG fittings that you can get at home depot...
