I just finished installing the hose for the roller matt on my infinia 190.5 and my friend was saying the hose will create resistance? Or im being anxious for nothing? The hose goes up and down like that any idea? He said it wont drain properly? Anyone have any idea

I think they are right, although with a down pipe i submerge the end a few inches under water which is causing some back pressure. your basically putting a p trap in there like most plumbing drains in a house. you may not notice any issues with it , so its up to you maybe try it how it is or change it now, it may not be a big deal...i wouldn't have extra slack if it's not needed, but I also wouldn't use hose like that but that's just a personal preference.

good luck get that thing going already!! lol;)
