the mistake of replumbing part of my system with clear hose. Been a pain
ever since. Redoing it is on my todo list.

Please don't tell me you all are drinking water contaminated with algae so
bad you have to keep it in the dark to prevent the algae ALREADY IN THE
WATER from growing in your water system......yecch!

Unless the water is ALREADY contaminated, IT WON'T GROW ALGAE!

and your families are DRINKING this crap without boiling it first?!!





This thread needs input from Peggie I think.

To be candid I am not clear as to why clear hose would pose a problem.
First off, there is (hopefully) no algae in the tank, although
admittedly it might be added from dock water by accident.

But if the algae requires light to grow as you say, and opaque plumbing
corrects the problem I am still unclear. My plumbing (ALL of it) is
either running through blige, behind cabinets, or under the cabin sole.
It's dark everywhere the hose passes. So what do I gain with opaque
plumbing?

Please explain.
