Transparent 22mm pipe. Where from?

[PSOE]

Any ideas where I can find some transparent 22mm pipe?

Plastic rather than glass. Want to use it in push fit fittings for low pressure water (my garden irrigation system using rainwater - level indication)

TIA

Not sure how it will work with compression fittings, but some of the DIY sheds sell clear flexible pipe of this sort of size, as do places selling pond pumps etc.

You could maybe adapt the flexible pipe using the sort of compression fitting used on the blue water pipe run underground- they use a sort of ferrule that you drive into the pipe to make it rigid where the fitting grips.

If you want hard pipe, you need to find a local plastics supplier. Yellow pages.

Extruded clear pipe is available, for sure, but I can't think of any 'retail' applications.

How do you plan to deal with algae? (Or is it just for short term use?)

Thnx Mike, I searched everywhere and good old RS had it all the time! This looks just the job.

I'll pop it out of the push fit connectors and wash it out with a bottle brush?

Worth a try at a fish/aquarium/pond type shop. Have seen some pretty heafty clear pipe for sale in some of those places.
