RO Tubing

[johanasu]

Anyone have the colored, hard plastic watts RO tubing? We had been using regular 1/4" soft tubing and the mouse in our ceiling in our classroom started eating holes in it. So much for our drain line...

Looking to buy 10ft or more as I don't know if I can get to Watts before they close at 4:30 for pickup.

Home Depot and Lowes carries it.

The home depot I was at yesterday did not have any... perhaps other locations do carry it. I'll check.

Spectrapure

Spectrapure or Ace. I believe a mouse can chew through the hard plastic line. You might have to run it inside some PVC.

Tractor Supply carries it also.

Spectrapure is even worse for timing, since I'm in NW phoenix. I'll check again with the local hardware stores.

1/4 ridge sprinkler line for drip water systems worked just fine for me.

You might be better off with a few glue traps, first. Mice could easily chew through the rigid tube, too.

Our mice apparently ate through half of the glue trap in the ceiling. Our facilities staff are working on the mouse problem. I'm hoping the hard tubing will be harder to scale/climb and therefore harder to chew threw. Guess we'll see.

I'll look into the sprinkler tubing.
