I recently purchased a few feet of Tygon to replace some Clearflex 1/2id 3/4od I had. I accidentally ordered the thinner od tubing and it is really thin now.

Basically what is happening is my tubing going into the pump is flattening and limiting my water flow because of too much suction from the pump. The whole tube flattens a little but right at the pump intake it almost crimps closed. I have a feeling that if I replace that piece of tubing that the piece before will do the same thing.

What would be the best way to resolve the problem without replacing my tubing again? (I was thinking of a way to control the pump and turn it down a notch but that would still restrict my flow)

In my loop is a Danger Den DD12V-D4 Pump, a Danger Den Dual 5 1/4" Bay Reservoir, The Danger Den SLI Kit Solution using two (2) Acetal MAZE4GPU, a Copper TDX Block for Athlon64 754/939/940, and a Black Ice Xtreme Radiator.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
