Flexible PVC Pipe For Water Gardens & Fountains

Connect your pump to your fountain with this Flexible PVC Pipe.
This pipe is used with all Aquascape Designs MiniPond Kits, Standard Pond Kits, Grande Pond Kits, Wetland Filtration Systems, Signature Series Pond Kits, and MicroPondless Waterfall Kits.
It can be used in aquariums and smaller water gardens.
We offer all the plumbing supplies you will need to assemble your custom water feature including: flexible pvc piping, manifold kits, pvc pipe fittings, and water fill valve parts.
Available in 6 different sizes

Note: A good way to think about tubing size is to imagine drinking from a straw. If you were to try to drink a glass of water with a cocktail straw it would take much longer than if you were to drink that same glass of water from a standard size straw. Over the years we have developed a chart to help our customer's size their tubing. Please see below.

     Up to 500 GPH:   Use 1/2" Tubing
     Up to 900 GPH:   Use 3/4" Tubing
  Up to 1,500 GPH:   Use 1" Tubing
  Up to 2,700 GPH:   Use 1-1/4" Tubing
  Up to 3,600 GPH:   Use 1-1/2" Tubing
  Up to 5,400 GPH:   Use 2" Tubing
Up to 13,500 GPH:   Use 3" Tubing
Up to 21,000 GPH:   Use 4" Tubing
Up to 42,000 GPH:   Use 6" Tubing

Plumbing Tip: Try to avoid 90 degree turns for this will cause friction slowing down and reducing your water flow. We always recommend Flexible piping instead of rigid piping to avoid connections that can not only leak but cause friction loss reducing your water flow.

Proper plumbing is very important!!!

Your pump can only work as well as your plumbing system allows it to. A larger pump does not always mean more water. A larger pump and larger pipe does mean more water. You can only fit a certain amount of water through a certain size hose.

1"hose= 1,500gph 2" hose= 5,400gph
1-1/4" hose= 2,700gph 3" hose= 13,500gph
1-1/2" hose= 3,600gph 4" hose= 21,000gph

For example: If you have a pump that is rated for 7,200gph and you are using a 2" flex hose. You are only going to get about 5,400gph coming out at the end of the pipe. Yes, head height, elbows, etc. have a factor in it also but I am trying to keep it simple and make a point. If you need more GPH, try using 2 hoses or upsize to a larger diameter hose.
