    Algae in my automatic waterer

    First, I would say that a black water hose is probably not a good idea cuz you can’t see thru it. I always used clear 1/2” type I’ve make/ refrigerator type hosing and fitted it with the appropriate fittings. I purchased a lot of it at Lowes for mine. I also used to live in AZ & you must...
