Vinyl hose getting hazy!

koro · 08-27-2001, 03:24 PM

I've only had my system running for a couple days (non stop) and my vinyl hoses are starting to get hazy. I'm using distiled water mixed with some water wetter(2 oz to a gallon). Is this normal or I'm I doing something wrong?

Mine were hazy too when the water temp rises on the clear tubing.

I think this is normal. Mine did the same thing. Kind of turned them pinkish with a haze.

I had vinyl and PVC for a while before I got my silicon. The PVC wasn't food grade and hazed, the vinyl was food grade and stayed very clear. Maybe it has something to do with one absorbs coolant? Could also be because one was PVC and other was vinyl, not sure.

PVC is Vinyl. Poly Vinyl Chloride.

The PVC tubes I got seemed to absorb dyes in the water. The blue dye of "dyelight" turned the hoses blue, but the water still glowed on it's own... go figure.
