I'm having problems researching UV resistant PVC pipe. It appears some of the fittings are UV resistant, but I can't seem to find a place that offers the actual pipe in 4" or 6" diameters.

I also read that it is possible to paint the exposed parts of the pipe with a Krylon brand spray paint made for plastic after roughing it up with sandpaper or something similar, and that will block the UV. I shouldn't have hardly any of mine exposed to sunlight. The drain pipe in the pond will be almost completely underwater and will have a brush filter on the top of it. The output end will be covered by rip rap and larger rocks. So should I even be concerned?

I searched this website and couldn't find any posts about this subject, but then I never have much luck searching a forum for anything. Anyone got any pointers here?
