Use the medium clear without the purple cleaner. It always comes back to haunt you and look like you messed up. NO on the copper tubing.

The purple primer is not a cleaner. The primer helps provide a chemical bond between the two segments. It is necessary for a solid bond between the joints. The joint will be brittle otherwise.

You need to clean the PVC before using the primer.

How much water do you want on your floor, and is it $2 really worth saving. If you don't like the color, paint it.
