Product Information

Full details

The Pisces Pond Hose is designed for gardeners and aquatics enthusiasts needing a flexible, durable solution for water transfer, drainage, and pump connections. Its key benefit is its ability to bend easily around obstacles without kinking, ensuring uninterrupted flow. A potential caveat is its specific diameter, requiring compatible fittings. This 15-meter long, 32mm (1.25 inch) corrugated hose is made from reinforced, UV-resistant PVC, making it ideal for outdoor use and resistant to algae growth due to its black color. It's suitable for water butt overflow, general drainage, and connecting various types of pond or fountain pumps.

FAQs

What is the exact internal diameter of the hose?

The internal diameter is 32mm, which is equivalent to 1.25 inches.

Can this hose be used for drinking water?

This hose is designed for garden and pond use, not for potable water applications.

How do I prevent algae growth inside the hose?

The black color of the hose helps block light, which is the primary factor in preventing algae growth. Ensure water flows regularly through the hose.

Is this hose suitable for high-pressure water systems?

No, this hose is designed for low to moderate pressure applications such as pump connections and drainage, not high-pressure systems.

Can I cut the hose to a shorter length?

Yes, you can cut the hose to a desired length using a sharp utility knife or saw. Ensure the cut end is clean for a proper connection.

What kind of pumps is this hose compatible with?

It is compatible with pond pumps, fountain pumps, and water pumps that have a 32mm (1.25 inch) outlet fitting.

How resistant is the hose to outdoor elements?

The hose is made from reinforced, UV-resistant PVC, making it durable and resistant to degradation from sunlight and general outdoor conditions.

Troubleshooting

Hose is not flexible enough out of the box

Unroll the hose completely and let it sit in the sun for a few hours to become more pliable. Avoid forcing sharp bends immediately after unboxing.

Water flow is reduced

Check both ends of the hose for blockages. Ensure the hose is not kinked or crushed along its length, especially around bends. Clean any debris from the inside if algae growth is suspected.

Fitting connection is loose

Ensure you are using a fitting specifically designed for a 32mm (1.25 inch) hose. Consider using a hose clamp for a more secure attachment to pump outlets or other connectors.

Hose seems stiff in cold weather

The material may become less flexible in very cold temperatures. Allow the hose to warm up before attempting to bend it sharply.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly flexible, bends without kinking
  • Durable and UV-resistant construction for outdoor use
  • Black color minimizes internal algae growth
  • 15-meter length offers extended reach
  • Suitable for diverse applications like drainage and pump connections

Cons

  • Fixed diameter may require specific fittings
  • Corrugated exterior can be harder to clean than smooth hoses
  • Not suitable for high-pressure applications
  • May not be ideal for very narrow spaces where a smaller diameter is needed

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unroll the hose completely before use to remove any kinks from packaging. Connect one end to your water source or pump outlet and the other to your desired destination. Ensure a snug fit; hose clamps may be necessary for secure connections, especially on pump outlets.

Compatibility: This hose features a 32mm (1.25 inch) internal diameter. It is compatible with Pisces pumps and other pumps or fittings designed for this specific hose size. Standard garden hose connectors may not fit directly.

Care: To maintain performance, periodically check for blockages, especially if used for drainage. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth as needed. While UV-resistant, storing the hose out of direct sunlight during off-seasons can prolong its lifespan. Avoid exposing the hose to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures beyond typical outdoor conditions.
