    So why can't 611 be used for pressure pipe joints but 725 can?

    Anything that's recommended as a cleaner for jointing PVC pipe, ABS pipe is the material that must not be twisted when joining.

    Trusted, where the flip did that come from hahaha

    725 is probably of a stronger compound specifically for pressure pipework,the 611 is for waste pipe where water flows through to an open end.
    There's always been two separate glues/solvents

    Frim, don’t worry about it mate, your pipes ain’t under any “pressure” on an open ended system.

    Yep no worries if pipework is open ended, I'd probably use a decent quality waste pipe and fittings for that cheaper.

    I was beginning to think that Mr Big as after all it's only running out of an open tank and two open filters then being recirculated. There is probably more pressure in my pump fed main pond until it gets to the Eazy Pod.

    I wasn't questioning your handy work BTW Mr Big I just wanted to know what was the right glue to get if I needed to solvent weld anything else together later on as it would be handy to have some around just in case I feel the need to make anything a bit more permanent.

    I am trying to use up the pressure pipe I had so thought it best to stick with it as it fits the flexi rubber boots better than waste does Tom.

    I read loads of stuff on various forums about which glue is “best”, they all smell the same
    Maybe there’s some minor chemical difference but all the joints on mine look exactly the same and I used a mixture of the expensive stuff and the bog standard polypipe gear from screwfix (mainly cause I ran out of the expensive stuff and had a few fittings left to fix).
    Honestly, I can’t see the difference.
    If you were installing a massive great chilled water AC system in an office block then ok, do it by the book, but your working on a couple of metres of fish pond pipe, I don’t think it’s that bigger deal mate.
    Have a test by all means, glue some offcuts together and see if they “melt”
    They will, trust me.
    If you don’t fancy it, let me know and I’ll come over and do it for ya. You can make me a cuppa 1.5" waste pipe and 1.5" waste fittings1.5" waste pipe and 1.5" waste fittings1.5" waste pipe and 1.5" waste fittings1.5" waste pipe and 1.5" waste fittings

    Oh right, yeah good idea, waste pipe would probably go out of shape by tightening boots on to it anyway.
