Replacing hoses

[ruedi ross]

I have a 98 Hunter 260 an am going to replace all waste hoses this off season. What brand or type do you recommed? Regarding the 1 1/2" looking through the catalogs I see basically two types, a black rubber "premium" hose and a white flexible plastic type. They are about the same price, but which one blocks the odor better/longer? On the vent hoses and water inlet I have only found the white corrugated hose. Also should I replace the siphon break on the water inlet hose while I'm there?

Best hose is AVS96

It's been proven in independent testing to be 16x more resistant to odor permeation than any other hose. $5/ft, cut to any length, direct from the mfr: http://www.aussieglobe.com/avs96.htmHowever, it's only available in 1.5". Use Shields or Trident #148 white sanitation hose for head intake and vent hoses.As for your vented loop...you shouldn't have to replace it...just clean it and replace the air valve if necessary.
