Reinforced flexible tubing

    Hi, I recently bought a metered water softener over the Internet. When I got it. I realised that it will not fit under my sink unless the unit on top is rotated through 90 degrees. To do this I need short piece ( a foot would more than enough) of reinforced flexible tubing to fit tightly over the end of the brine intake tube , which is just over 9mm outside diameter. It is important that the tube can seal well, as apparently any leak will lead to air getting into unit and causing brine tank to overflow .
    If anyone could help that would be great, otherwise whole thing is a non-runner.

    If its the clear stuff that looks like a very thick garden hose

    A farmers co-op should have good stock .

    You never gave youre location but i presume having hard water

    Its not in the pale:P

    Dont forget some kind of clips to fasten the pipe at both ends!

    Jubilee clips are a good reliabe job.

    Just dint over tighten them over the pipes,i presume theyre plastic.

    The farmer's Coop will have something like it, as wing52 said already.
    Make sure the tube is food-proof, don't take the diesel/sewer pump or hoover material.
    Alfalaval (yellow material) is one brand, there are more.
