Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first measure your required length and cut the hose using a sharp utility knife between the ribs. When connecting to pump outlets or filter inlets, ensure the hose is pushed firmly over the barbed fitting. For a secure, leak-proof connection, always apply a stainless steel jubilee clip over the hose at the connection point and tighten firmly.
Compatibility: This 12mm (0.5 inch) hose is compatible with standard aquatic push-fit connectors. Always check your pump or filter's outlet size before purchasing to ensure a 12mm fit.
Care: While the hose is UV-resistant, it should be kept clear of sharp, jagged rocks or abrasive edges that could puncture the corrugated material. During winter, if the pond is drained, it is advisable to flush the hose with clean water and store it in a cool, dark location to extend its longevity.
