You can use any aquarium hose that has the same diameter, I think its 1/2" or greenline hose for some silicone hose. It's harder to get the clear ones but its an overkill.

Great. Thanks very much.

Albert: Do you think that could still be the case if it performs well for a couple days and then production slows down?

The order that it slows down may just coincidental. The alternate pattern is that it could act really crappy then start behaving properly again.

Either way, I'd check it out.

I made a video about this a while back:

Everything looks good with the pump. Anyone know if the silencer can be taken apart and if so, does it unscrew or pop apart? I think that might be the culprit.

take the air silencer and pour hot water into it then shake it around and then blow into it to get it some what dry.

Ok perfect. Wasn't sure if there was anything else inside there that could get damaged from doing so. Thanks for your help.
