Where can I find extra 1/4" water line for my RO unit? - Aquarium Advice

JeffProe · 01-12-2005, 10:15 PM

I bought an [acronym:337b58839d="Reverse osmosis"]RO[/acronym:337b58839d] unit off of eBay. It works good, but I'd really like to get some extra water line for it. It took so long to get everything from the eBayer, that I'd rather not go back to them and even ask, but I'm not seeing it from anyone else either. Anybody know where I can pick some of this stuff up?

Thanks in advance!

Jeff

I picked up Polyethylene Tubing from Home Depot. It works great and is cheap too.

Probably depends on what it is connected to. I wouldn't put the low grade ice maker style line on anything but the output because it is probably not real great with higher pressure.

I intend on checking Menards tomorrow for mine. I want 50' or so.

Thanks for the input. I really only intend to extend the outputs. So, anything should work.

Thanks again.

Got mine at Menards last night (50 feet was under $3). It's just 1/4"OD icemaker tubing.
