Milk lines and inflations replaced every year?

[Moody]

so I know the milk lines need replaced every year. How about the inflations?

Also one can use food grade hose from hardware store for the lines right?

I don't replace either of mine every year. I have a brush I run through them weekly and make sure that they are stored in a clean manner for the winter. I also don't drink raw milk so I am a little more confidant in not replacing them. When I bought new ones I bought tubing from Hamby Dairy supply. However, if I felt a need to replace them I would replace inflations as well.

I will say that if I saw mold or anything growing in them they would go. Also when I bought a used system all the rubber got replaced. I know how my stuff is cleaned so I am comfortable with extended use.
