Airline tubing with Typhoon III?
What is the type of tubing that comes with this unit? The stuff that came on mine is white and black. It is more rigid that the silicone(clear) common tubing, but not quite as rigid as the rigid airline tubing that normally comes in 36" lengths. I would like to find it so I can make the length longer from my sink to the unit. I need about 15 feet.

Go to your local hardware store (Lowe's, Home Depot, etc) and get polyethylene icemaker tubing. It typically comes in 25' rolls for like $3.00. That's all you need.

Go to a home improvement store... use ice maker tubing-- its the same size and rated for the high house pressures you will see... sold in 25 foot lengths typically for a couple of dollars.
They also sell John guest type push in fittings also that work with both-- both should be near the hoses and plumbing supplies at any home improvement store.. //edit// I'm too slow...
