What type of hose is Python ?

[Pvtgloss]

Python is the best hose I have used for water changes. Every other type is too stiff and stays coiled or kinks and collapses. I can coil python up in a bucket for a week and pull it out and it'll straighten right out.
Does anyone know what type of material it is made out of?

It seems like they're proud of the UV stabilizers in their tube, maybe that's the secret?

I’m fairly sure it’s just flex vinyl, like everything there are different qualities. Home Depot ace hardware can have some for you to compare

Don't know but I completely agree with you so following.
Lowes / Home Depot / Ace Hardware have a bunch of different types of Silicone, vinyl, etc. tubing but nothing quite like the hose that comes with the Python vacuum, at least that I've been able to find.

This is the same material python useshttps://www.amazon.com/Flexible-Lightweight-Plastic-Chemical-Resistant/dp/B0CCP3JMNN/ref=sr_1_2?crid=30A60R2TY3F0A&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.VCywUyR0Mhd8QWBHNMTEOcvm5H9mlcTgs18PsLjIU1rTCv0-6WZ9EFmgxpO1tyZmnEO8Rbmo7KgEphzujunItUa2ZztaznOGIiNlnOsS7Mdxg5VnNYaDXDnMpY_6wsNq8uPZiR8aZkfgdwZNDBPr2vWYLpbM5HRbR-BLx2ptCGfFgnpWMCLqgpxY7vrF4JGTIp_hu4maSwfrS8a6P7Mwv8if-qLhme3jU4Kuq-HPNC0.20YHC_dWaYnFArQnW_pzfL0QLEU_JxES02k6_eXtKz8&dib_tag=se&keywords=5%2F8%2Binch%2BUV%2Bstable%2Bnon%2Bpores%2Bhose&qid=1730358896&sprefix=5%2F8%2Binch%2Buv%2Bstable%2Bnon%2Bpores%2Bhose%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-2&th=1
