I need to order some new tubing for my WC setup. I've searched and read the forums and I'm just as confused as I was before, Should I go with Tygon or ClearFlex60? I have a D-Tek kit so I'm guessing I'll need 3/8" OD, 1/2" ID for it to work. I looked at McMaster.com, but they have so many different types to choose from. What is the most common type? I know this strait noob, but I want to get the right thing the first time.

BTW: I've got to get new tubing due to stained tubes. I had some film in them from testing the system and I can't get it out. I've tried soaking and washing, but nothing works. So...I'm just gonna replace the tubing and start over w/ prob distilled water and Purple Ice or Zerex with some blue UV dye. This d**n SuperCool additive isn't that great.

Edit: I've found this:
Tube 1

and this:
Tube 2
 
1. Go to mcmaster.com
2. Search "chemical tubing"
3. You should get this as a result: "Tygon Chemical/Laboratory PVC Tubing"
4. It should be page 85
5. Two types, Pvc chemical (clearflex 60) & tygon R-3603, choose 1/8" walled.

3/8" clearflex is .49 a foot and tygon is 2.59

I'd go for the clearflex ;)
