... Ummm, why is it that we've decided PVC pipe is no good and an alternative needs to be found?

Because somebody who has not made anything yet, just happened to question it!!
And the Yanks, (see other thread) because they must analyse everything to within an inch of it's lfe!! (even each other!!)

One day, they might realise that the only cause of Death . . . is Life!

Cheers IanK :whistle:

Vic the pipe is fine but the drippers clog up very quickly

I wouldn't be using the drippers, just put a large DIY filter job over the end of it to prevent the fish or crawlies from getting up into the pipe from either end.
Dad's pretty good with handyman jobs like that and he's keen to get something happening.

Myself?
I'm just asking as parents have stacks available and means buying very little materials to get the first system up and running :)

I'd just avoid running the black pipe in the sun or using it to solar heat actual system water and figure growing your own food at home is healthier than having some industrial agriculture do it.
