Any thoughts on running 3/8 clear hose or is 3/8 RO hose similar for the drain. I don't want to chance a bend in the hose restricting flow. Which would be better, or does it even matter. I am leaning toward getting a Hobby pump like you have Sergio, since my distance will be around 22 feet give or take a few feet. Thanks for all the help Sergio! I'm about to start ordering components!!
