Has anyone else gotten the drain line extensions?  Sure do make it easier to connect - no more standing on my head to see the connection on the PureFlow.  :2thumbsup; 

The best thing is that it indicates to me that they really are trying to make the entire system as user friendly as possible.   :clap;   Now, if they would just take care of the things listed in the other thread, like the buttons which are almost impossible to push, the tangled lines that look like twisted spaghetti, the scrolling read-out, etc.

I was so glad when I started getting those extensions (two with each PAK). It was never a big deal to open the front of the pureflow to connect the waste line, but the extensions sure do make it easier.
