i was buying my true unions at lowes as well. great price. i could not, and stil lcant figure out why online places have them for so much higher. they are really cheap at lowes, and look to be of good construction.

the flex pvc is a bit pricey though! and how exactly do you attach flex pvc? does it still use the same adhesive and primer, and glue to the fittings? or do you use clamps? if you use clamps, wouldnt a union ball valve be pointless?

wanareef. savko has some great prices. i had never heard of them till mojoreef gave me the link last week. i just ordered my schedule 80 1.5" bulkheads from them last night. and their shipping goes by order cost, not order weight, which is kinda cool

they also have clear pvc, whcih will make building my diy skimmer a snap, since i wont have to mess with acrylic!! now, if i ever have a tank that would require a 50 foot roll of plumbing, watch out, because that puppy is gonan be big

for anyone that has ever orderedfrom savko, here is something interesting i jsut found out... it's a 1 man show

fromt hte thousands of products they have on thier website, i imagined a huge company, nope just one guy. he does havea part time helper on some days. other than that, it's all him.

i called to check on my order, that i placed last night. i said want the order number, he said "nip, juss gimme yer nim. i said jay thomson, and he said "yip, 4 -1.5 inch scheduhl 80 bulkhids, all packed ip and shipped out, ya shoulda git it timoruh"

as many poeple that buy from there, i think i'll send him an email and link about TRT, try to get him on as a sponsor.
