So when I built my MLT (a la Flyguy), I didn't realize that the supply hose I bought wasn't SS. I've done 6 or 7 batches always getting about 60% efficiency each time toying with one thing or another trying to get a better rate. I've now moved onto looking at my manifold and discovered that it wasn't really stainless steel (it looks to be some sort of braided nylon or something as it is fraying at the ends). I'm going to replace that thing with a true SS braid from a hot water heater supply line anyway because I don't want any issues with it, but should I expect a jump in efficiency? And, if so, what kind of jump are we talking?
