Syphon Tube

[topgear]

Hi I have noticed my syphon tubes have patches of mould in places,
Would the forum buy new or has anyone got any tricks for cleaning inside??? :

It would probably be easier just to buy a new one but you could try sucking through hot water? and if that doesnt work.. try and feed a piece of string through it and then use the string as a cloth and try and get off the harder stuff. dunno if it'll work but it's worth a shot

For the price i'd just get a new one, not worth risking losing a batch to infection :sick:

I have tried dropping through a length of kite string or fishing line attached to a nail, and then pulling a piece of cloth through with that, but it really doesn't seem to be worth the effort when I use a 5 ft tube @ 10p/ft.

Wash / disinfect immediately after use, whirl dry and hang up.

I usually have a couple in service and a new spare in my bits box, then they get replaced as soon as they start to look tatty.
