Alright, we all have heard about clear PVC tubing going cloudy, some blame it on the brand, some call it on the additives.
I decided to do a forum COMB of all tubing threads, and must have read 300-400 posts about it.. I collected some data.. and I think I found something.
People Reporting Tubes going cloudy.
32 people used non-distill water
42 people used CuSO4 (mayhem, PT nuke, dead water) + Silver coil
53 people used JUST CuSO4
4 people used JUST Silver kill coil
16 people used coloring.
of brands they complained:
PrimoChill 55 (and shockingly most in 2012)
Masterkleer 3
Tygon 35 (didn't care to divide Tygon groups)
DangerDen 2
Koolance 2
ClearFlex 12
Unspecific/never heard of brand. 112
I think I see a pattern.
I will write a summary about it in a bit.
Just thought I share first.
(take note, some of the 'people' count probably over lapped, I just tick on the paper on their complained, I didn't care to remember them 1 by 1.)
