Where to buy components for plumbing or swimming pool?

Post by AsaSmith » Tue May 07, 2013 4:34 am

Hello! I need to buy bits similar to this http://www.onlinepoolstore.co.uk/63mm-g ... -425-c.asp in Finalnd

Normally I would go to Screwfix or a plumbing company in Britain but I'm having trouble locating something in Helsinki due to nearly all the websites being in Finnish only.

Any ideas on where to buy some PVC or ABS similar to the stuff on that link would be great and most appreciated

Thanks in advance!

The keywords you’re looking for are:

putkiliike, LVI-liike = plumber’s store, plumbing supplies store, HVAC & plumbing store
rautakauppa = hardware store

You could try both regular Google searches and Fonecta Finder for finding such services in your area. (The Lisää alue link in Fonecta opens a field where you can specify the city, province, or postal code of the area where you’re living.)

You could also try the keyword uima-altaita (“swimming pools”) in Fonecta if you want a list of companies which specialize in swimming pools.

Etola (and possibly Biltema?) might have some bargains on some types of pipes and supplies so maybe you’d want to check them out first and then go to the more expensive specialist suppliers or regular hardware stores.

Wow the guy Sami from Etola quoted me a price for the fittings, which in Britain totalled 68GBP... 350Euro here in Finland! Unbelievable! So I ended up buying a complete seat and stand as suggested in my other post.

Thanks for all the direction Jukka most appreciated :)
