I NEVER dump a piece of pipe outside of the path where I'm going, because that causes me to lose points. If I did that I'd never get any points for some levels as I'm not very good at thinking waaaay ahead in long chains. Nor am I fast enough.

I place all the pieces I can't/don't want to use toward the other end. Then I just keep clicking through the pieces, putting them on top of each other, until I get what I need. I didn't see in the instructions where you can sort through parts or rotate them. I might have missed it, though. So I've just done it this way. If you click through them fast enough and watch ahead at what's coming, then it isn't an issue.

I try to put all the wider pieces close to the faucet where Bloo will turn on the water. This buys me time if I don't get the pieces I want.

It didn't occur to me to try and make as long of a pipe as possible early on in the game until I unlocked Level 3 and it was really hard (hot and cold water). Once I did that I was able to beat it pretty quickly. Good advice!
