plumbing question ?

[leboeuf]

When using a "soft hose" return method, which tubing should I be considering? Is it regular clear vinyl tubing or a special material, i.e. spa tubing??????

I use the regular clear smooth walled vinyl tubing myself...
It Works great.
You can find it in the plumbing section of any home depot/lowes type store...

thanks Mr. Salty. Use metal color clamps to secure?

Try and find Stainless steel if you can. Most of the time, they are galvanized and will rust. Even though they still hold securely, they are a pain to loosen should you need to. The stainless variety are worth the added expense.

Even the stainless ones have a non stainless screw.So the screw will rust.Unless you can find a manufacturer that is ALL STAINLESS...These all stainless ones are what I use,and work great.
(TIP)
When looking for stainless hardware take a magnet along...Stainless steel is nonmagnetic..
