Vinegar and dos tubing

250mixreef · Jan 3, 2016

After good results dosing vinegar I started dosing with dos from apex. It works great however the tubing turns white on the inside. Is this normal or do I need silicone tubing?

The plasticizers are probably slowly coming out. I've had tubing in my vinegar doser for a few years and that happened to me too. I don't worry about it.

What doser do you use for vinegar?

I have the dos also and use nopox witch is basically the same thing, the issue only falls if its in a acrylic container (for nopox, not sure for vinegar) . the tubing is perfectly fine nothing to worry about
