    Anybody know where to get the piping needed for a water pump and the sink. Think I need a 3/4" for the tap and 1" for the waste. I tried 4-5 hardware stores around my local area but no joy. Closest thing was pex pipe which is too think and not see through. The guy in store said the piping I was looking for is clear Tricoflex?

    Charles camping probably has it, but you'd pay an arm and a leg there!

    All the chandlerys have it, a lot of agricultural stores, b&q has it although not sure of the grade, water softener companies etc. etc.

    Theres a barge builders in newbridge try calling them. Morell power craft in newbridge are listed under chandlery too.

    Another place to look would be any wrecked/abandoned caravans - you often see them in farmers places, maybe used for chickens or storing stuff.
    As you are in Athy - might be worth checking out the Farmer's CoOp (now Leinster Marts maybe?) out the Kildare Road.
