Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your pump is powered off and disconnected. Remove the old, damaged hosetail from the pump outlet, ensuring no debris or old gasket remnants remain on the thread. Screw the new hosetail firmly into place, ensuring the threads are aligned correctly to avoid cross-threading. When attaching your pond hose, use a stainless steel hose clip to secure the tubing to the tail to prevent slippage due to high pump pressure. For long-term care, occasionally inspect the connection for signs of salt buildup or algae growth during your routine pump cleaning, and rinse with clean water to maintain the integrity of the plastic threads.
