You do not need purple primer. The color is for the inspector so he can see you used primer

I used primer. Just tape your joints and be patient. You can make nice looking joints and have the added peace of mind

You don't have to use primer, it is not required for a good joint. If you read the directions on the bottle, it even mentions this. Primer is required to meet code as it softens the PVC and creates a better joint. I would say for pressurized lines, use the primer. For the drains, you don't absolutely need it. If you want to be safe, use it on all joints and as said before, use the clear stuff. I don't use the primer much, but I do clean the joints with alcohol or acetone and rough up the joint regions with some sandpaper.
