I looked and have now looked again at the West catalog, with no success. The
West store told me they sold only the clear hose, some w/ braid.
They do have Shields multi-purpose hose, but is much too stiff. Also Whale,
but that is not very flexible.

Most marine suppliers carry opaque hose specifically for domestic
water systems. Check out your West Marine catalog.

Seems all of the tubing sold by marine outlets for freshwater lines is
transparent, but this allows algae to thrive.
Is there a source for food grade tubing that is opaque (actually I found
some Tygon, but wouldn't take the pressure)?
It would be such a waste to wack two feet off a 50 ft length of marine
water hose....
