Hard To Find
By Mr. B
This silicone tubing is mighty hard to find locally, but astoundingly Amazon sells it! It is employed as inlet and outlet hoses for my Katadyn Pocket Water Filter and this stuff works outstanding and makes a long length so I don't have to be right on a river bank to get water. I'm going to buy a good deal of more to use for other projects that I have going on too!

Insinkerator Hot Water Dispenser Replacement Tube
By Tom D
If you have an older Insinkerator that applied the defective vinyl tubing, this is what you need to replace the cracked and leaking tubing. Tough to find high temperature tubing anyplace but a scientific supply or Amazon. Posted photo shows the Insinkerator repair. Fast delivery, all things considered, outstanding value.

Sous Vide stirrer - works great.
By N. J. Simicich
In order to get an even temperature in a sous vide bath, it needs to be stirred.

There are two stirring systems in mutual use - one is to use a little liquid pump that goes into an aquarium or fountain. Those pumps have a problem in that they won't stand up to temperatures higher than 150F or 160F. They seem to work OK at 145 and they work great at 131. But at a heap of temperature short of 180F, they fail because constituents soften. Bad pump, no biscuit! I wanted something I could stir simmering water with - I was not going to stir something with body, beans or polenta or such. Mechanical stirrers on Amazon got horrid ratings with the exception of those built into a pot. But while you can't stir beans with a bubbler, you may stir water with a bubbler - it is the being stirred that keeps the fish alive - more water is exposed to the surface.

This tubing has the same inside diameter as ordinary aquarium tubing, so it fits an aquarium pump's air fitting perfectly. My sentiment is that if an aquarium pump won't kill fish, the air devised is probably safe for food. The feed is protected from the bath with a plastic barrier, but it seems to diffuse a bit, you may smell the spices from inside the bag in the water bath, and what diffuses out will diffuse in. Thus I didn't want to use standard aquarium tubing in the water. Even silicone aquarium tubing. I probably could have boiled usual silicone tubing, altering the water at least five times, or until no dye leached into the boiling water after five changes. But this stuff, well, I could just use it.

I folded the end over, stuffed it into a 1/2" stainless nut that had been through a dishwasher, which nut held the end folded over and sealed, and then I employed the nuts and a couple stainless washers that had similar treatment as weights. I clipped little crescent moon shaped holes in the tubing with diagonal cutters, one hole each half inch over four inches - to get bubbles to come out in little streams, so that they would stir more water. Worked perfectly.

I chosen this tubing, even even though it was more pricey than other tubing, because it was feed safe and ranked for temperatures well higher than boiling. Nothing else came close - but I would have purchased 1 meter if I could have. Or a half meter would have been enough. It is not cheap, but I didn't concede price to affect my rating, I knew what it cost when I purchased it.
