PVC plumbing - Aquarium Advice

pat8you · 05-06-2008, 01:32 PM

I'm plumbing a tank now and i was wondering is the purple PVC primer bad for the fish? The glue says its good for pottable water but i didn't see anything like that on the primer. I'm sure they would put on the bottle a giant warning if the primer could effect your water so people didn't poisin them selves but i just wanna double check

Done! It could go in either one.

The purple primer is fine to use. Same with the glue. It's all safe once it's dried.

Correct, just make sure that it is dried before you use it. Rinse the plumbing out before use also.
