Hi,
I just bought a stand alone doser and was wondering what tubing i should be using with it. Is it the same has any air pump silicone tubing?
Thanks

I use the same plastic ridgid line that is on the RO water filtration or a refrigerator ice maker water Line. Go to a hardware store, you can get 20' for 5$

I found black tubing in petco when I was there getting dog food and it fits perfect

Thanks guys but won't the regular air pump silicon tubing do the trick. Is it the wrong size? Did the tube you are using produce the right flow?

I use both - the 3/16" silicone tubing fits a bit tight, so you might want to use 1/4" tubing (I used 3/16" since I bought 3/16" check valves).

Yes but I find that the more rigid line is less prone to kinks and being crushed.
