I suspect the rest of your system will be toast in a matter of weeks running that shit.

Yes, because using medical grade plastic tubing has magical technological medicinal powers.

The risks he runs are shit from the hoses clogging up blocks. And maybe a tube popping off. The tube itself is no risk, it's just tygon for example is less likely to degrade.
Garden hose is fine for a stopgap too, I mean damn if it's for a few days who cares

You seriously think tygon would degrade slower than a garden hose which literally lasts for 20 years outside in the sun all day?

Don't forget the time your average garden hose spends in a bong belonging to the kid down the road.... That shit lasts forever >.> <.< >.>

Clogging up ? Degrading ? I am talking about the shit seal it gives, it's like how hard and how thick/thin !

I'm pretty sure it has a good seal, was damn hard to get onto the compressions.
And who cares if it is going to degrade in 5 years time, this is a temp setup for a few weeks

I was in hospital quite recently, the medical tubing is way to thin.
