    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$

    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.
