Plasticizer Leeching on clear tubing?

Anybody know the exact cause? I have about year old tubing that turns cloudy. I'm suspecting it's some kind of reaction with a silver kill coil.

What tubing are you using specifically and soft tubing even ones without plactizers that leech out still degrade and harden over time.

It's soft tubing, primochill advanced I think. I don't think I would say it's hardening, but the cloudiness was apparent within days of everything running.

Are you using distilled water and a kill coil in the loop, also during the build did you happen to clean out the rads and blocks thoroughly.
