Using clear vinyl hose as a temporary return line?

Menards sells black tubing in various sizes. I've been thinking of getting some for the little bit of vinyl tubing I have to eliminate algae growth.

That sounds like a great idea. I've lived here in St Louis for 6.5 years and have yet to check out Menards. It's about time that I get out there.

I, myself have only used it for short runs (3ft) has anyone used it to push water 9 ft?

I just relized I'm using this tubing on my 92. Im running a Genx40 sometimes wide open and the longest run is maybe 4 feet

For a water change I run it 25 feet. :deadhorse:

That was really the basis for my initial concern. I assumed that there would be some noticeable head pressure generated when pushing water that far uphill.
