I'm not sure but I bet most of the hoses on Amazon/Ebay fit. Try Bicarbonate of soda.

Try this for cleaning - If it doesn't work, nothing will.

I just buy lengths of this and bin it if it goes mouldy, cut another piece off and away you go......

I wouldn't use bleach on anything like these will always leave a taste. Gi to your local pub and ask the landlord for a little bit of beer line cleaner. Brilliant stuff make sure you give it a good rinse through. And it shouldn't react with the liner of the tube.
If not just get some new length and cut a new length every now and then..

£1.99 from Superdrug Russ, but you can buy it most supermarkets too.

try this tip when you have a replacement,when you get home rinse it out and stick the whole thing in the freezer,the remains of the water just freezes,next time you use just fill it nice and chilled.no mould or bacteria.
