FAQs

What is the internal diameter of the hose?

The internal diameter of the Pisces 10m Corrugated Flexible Hose is 1.5 inches (38mm).

How many hose clips are included?

Two adjustable stainless steel double wire clips are included with the hose.

Can this hose be used for drinking water?

This hose is designed for garden and aquatic use, not for potable drinking water.

Is the hose suitable for saltwater environments?

The hose is made of UV-resistant plastic and is suitable for aquatic or marine setups, implying it can handle general water transfer, but prolonged direct saltwater immersion should be considered based on specific marine application needs.

How do I cut the hose to length?

You can use a sharp knife or sturdy scissors to cut the hose cleanly to your desired length.

Will the black color affect water temperature?

While black absorbs more heat, the effect on water temperature within a 10m hose is typically minimal, especially in typical garden pond or water butt applications. The primary purpose of the black color is to deter algae growth.

Can I extend the length of the hose?

Yes, you can connect multiple hoses together using appropriate fittings and secure clamps, though this guide focuses on the single 10m length provided.

Troubleshooting

Hose is kinked or water flow is restricted.

Gently straighten the hose. The corrugated design is flexible, but sharp, prolonged bends can still impede flow. Ensure the hose is not placed over any sharp objects that could cause a permanent crease.

Connection leaks at the fitting.

Ensure the hose clip is tightened sufficiently. Check that the hose is fully seated onto the fitting and that there are no obstructions or debris on the fitting surface. If the leak persists, the hose may be damaged at that point, or an additional clip may be needed.

Algae growth visible inside the hose.

Disconnect the hose and flush it thoroughly with clean water. For stubborn growth, a mild, pond-safe cleaning solution can be used, followed by extensive rinsing. Ensure connections are secure before reconnecting.

Hose seems too rigid.

Allow the hose to warm up slightly in sunlight, as plastic can become more flexible in warmer temperatures. Ensure you are not trying to make a bend that is too sharp for the hose's design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the required length of the hose.
  2. Use a sharp knife or sturdy scissors to cut the hose cleanly to size.

  4. Secure the connection using the provided stainless steel hose clips. Adjust the clip to firmly grip the hose, ensuring a snug fit around the fitting.

Care:
