    Question What's up with Clearflex 60

    Of all the comparisons, none of them include Clearflex. Is it so bad as to not even merit mentioning

    Help me out here

    Were are the test that provide proof. that just sounds like an opinion
    .

    Over 70 people have read this thread and no one has done any testing?

    I have used it for quite some time now and have never used anything else. I always trying to step up my game so I'm trying to find out if I should switch and why

    I don't think kinks and discoloration are opinions.

    It is not suitable for the application: water causes it to fog milk white over time. It leaches plasticizer into the loop which is often confused with algae or some biologic slime. The one benefit it has is the low durmoter: it's soft. This can also be an issue for leaks though...too soft.

    I have used hundred of feet of it and am done with it...MasterKleer is far superior for our purposes.

    You assume I have some money to trough away

    FYI, I've recently tested some tubings although clearflex is not one of them becos its not even worth my time to buy some to test.

    if you had read my post properly, you would see that it is more of a negative experience than just an uninformed "opinion"

    I had experienced the fogging, the kinks and the pains of trying to force it to bend to my desired angle and directions.

    There's normally no spoon, but to bite the hand that tried to feed you?

    I was not trying to be rude nore was I trying to imply that you were uniformed. I appreciate that you took the time to answer at all I was just looking for a little more specific information. Please except my apologies for any offence taken
