Product Information
Full details
The Oase Tradux is designed for pond owners who want a clean, uncluttered look by hiding hoses and cables. Its key benefit is providing a watertight seal while allowing you to feed hoses and wires through a wall or liner. A potential limitation is that it only accommodates hoses and cables within a specific size range.

Troubleshooting
Water Leaking
Check the seal on the rubber gasket and tighten if necessary. Ensure the unit is properly installed and the hole is the correct size.
Hose or Cable Won't Fit
