You aint seen the Electron Scan Photographs I have seen!
Could you accept that cheap extruded EDPM (synthetic rubber), made down
to a price and not made to any standard, can have a rough inner
surface. Could you accept that dearer EDPM hose, made to quality
standards, can be made with a smooth inner surface and tested as such
and against harbouring biofilms by an independant laboratory?

Have you seen just how 'rough' the average pipe is in a hard water area
after a short time in use?
