Not uncommon. Keep an eye on it and if (when) it gets worse, replace it.

Would that possibly cause the clouding? I could cut the line shorter. nope, it’s not touching water Last edited: Oct 25, 2020

That is likely the cause, but even if it isn’t, not a great design. I cut the tubes shorter so they’ll never be underwater.
