How It Works
This 1/4" poly tubing functions as a vital conduit within your residential RO water system, channeling purified water between filters, membranes, and storage tanks. Its polyethylene material provides chemical resistance and flexibility, allowing it to withstand pressure fluctuations and bending without compromising the water flow.
The black color minimizes light penetration, which helps maintain water purity by inhibiting microbial growth inside the tubing. This ensures consistent water quality and system performance over time.
What to Expect
After installing the PT02-BLACK tubing, expect a smooth and secure connection that fits snugly with standard RO fittings. You’ll notice immediate improvements in preventing leaks and reducing maintenance needs. In the first few weeks, the tubing will maintain its shape and integrity, even under typical household water pressures.
Over the longer term, the tubing’s durable polyethylene construction ensures reliable performance with minimal wear, helping you avoid frequent replacements and system downtime.
