Shopping for Tubing - looking for Opinions

[Vinster]

Starting to put some thought in my AC Chiller.  I still have to make sure she works. But if she does, I need tubing to get from outside, to in the house where the benching rig will be.

my rig will be in the basment, there is a window where the tubing will be going through. I'm trying to avoid buying from the US as the exchange and shipping is a killer for me.

here are the two that I'm looking at, the EKWB is pricey, but the temp range is published and that helps, but I also like the Ozone/UV resistance as this tubing will be outside. I'll be putting a 3/4" tubing insulation on it either way.

I'm looking for anyone personal experience with these tubes, I've learned my lesson on using vinyl shit from the hardware store.. I'm not going there again.

here they are;

EKWB - $38/10' = $3.80/ft - www.dazmode.com/store/product/ek-tube-zmt-matte-black-194125mm-3m-retail/

Ultra Clear Tubing (1/2 - 3/4) 13/19mm Tubing - $1.59/ft - www.dazmode.com/store/product/ultra-clear-tubing-12-34-1319mm-tubing/

I'm thinking I need 30-40ft.

My chiller bottoms out at -30 degrees C, and the EK tubing is published at -30 so like it for that. the other tubing because it doesn't have a temp range I don't know what it'll do at -30 degrees.

I'm hoping someone here has used either of these in low temp and can let me know if the Ultra Clear was worth while of if I should bite the bullet and get the EK tubing.

I'm also open to other tubing, but I want to keep the purchase within Canada.

The $1.59 a foot looks Ok its coiled tight enough in the pic and you are going to be putting tube insulation on it.
I would be going with that.

found this and this vinnie , iuse tygon hose but i dont get the temps youll have, i too am over the hardware plastic shit, just a waste of money. tygon is expensive tho, a 4 mtr roll cost me $40, ill be going withthis mayhem, i tried to find its temp specs but their dyes they use do give their temp spec in the overclock.net link so id expect their hoses would be able to handle the same temps, either way it seems to me the mayhem hose is a very good product and the price is right

I have used Ultra Clear to -20 before without a problem if that helps you make a decision.

Thanks Guys, I appreciate you're input. I'll get the Ultra Clear Tubing.

I'll get enough to re-do my main rig loop whenever I switch over to a Zen 1700.
