    Suggested suppliers for piping/plumbing components?

    Hi,

    I was wondering if I can get some suggestions for which suppliers you would suggest for all the "plumbing" bits that are needed for pond building?

    I think I've got my main components sorted out, but now I need to find a good source for lots of piping, fittings, flanges, couplers, valves etc.

    I can see lots on eBay/Alibaba, but I'd prefer to use someone that come with personal reccomendations.

    Many thanks

    Steve

    I've been useing coastal koi, they seem pretty good on price and if you join as a member they give you a little more discount.
    I ordered some fittings this Monday and got them the next day.

    It's always good to have a choice of suppliers at the end of the day as sometimes you find they sell different stuff or one could be out of stock just when you need something ASAP.

    Thanks for the guidance everyone - Coastal looks like it's going to be getting my pocket money for the next few months

    JBS plastics were excellent for me. Their bottom drain is superb.

    Got a few bits from Coastal too, no problems either.

    These were the cheapest suppliers I could find when I did my pond a few years ago.

    Just called JBR - they sound like great guys - looks like I'll be getting one of their showers and also they do custom work so will get them to do parts for the Vortex upgrade.

    Great... so between JBR and Coastal it looks like I'm set on the plumbing side
