Best suction hose???
« on: May 29, 2015, 06:26:02 pm »
My suction hose gets hot and collapses.  It is food grade vinyl I think.  What is the best hose to replace it with so it stays open and where can I get it???

If you are using a march pump the high temp silicone will not collapse.

High temp silicone won't collapse but it does pinch pretty easily. If you don't mind the stiffness the reinforced is nice for some areas. If you're not making any angles with the tubing the regular silicone tubing is probably fine.
