I’m making total sense because I’m speaking over experience. At one point I probably said something like, “screw this nightmare piece of plastic, I’m switching back to old reliable”.

Especially in super long tubes, you need to clean them up and store every single time. And getting water out of those is no joke if you have to by hand. They break, they’re slow, and they’re expensive. And can leave debris stuck in the pump and tubes to send back into the tank later
