FAQs
What is the internal diameter of the tubing?
The internal diameter is 4mm.
How do I determine how much tubing I need?
Measure the distance from your air pump location to the desired airstone location in the pond. Add extra length to account for the pond's layout.
How do I clean the tubing?
Rinse the tubing with clean water to remove any debris. For stubborn blockages, use a soft brush.
Is the tubing suitable for all types of ponds?
Yes, it is suitable for most ponds, but ensure the length and diameter are appropriate for your specific pond size and fish population.
What happens if the tubing gets a kink?
The tubing is designed to resist kinks, but if one occurs, it may restrict airflow. Try to gently smooth out the kink; if severe, replace the affected section.
Can I use this tubing with any air pump?
Yes, it is compatible with standard air pumps used for pond aeration.
How do I connect the tubing to the airstone and air pump?
Simply insert the tubing into the appropriate connections on the airstone and air pump. Ensure a snug fit to prevent air leaks.
What is the material of the tubing?
The tubing is made of a thicker, heavier material designed to sink and resist damage and UV light.
Troubleshooting
Tubing is not sinking.
Ensure the tubing is properly placed and free from air pockets. Check for any kinks or bends that may be preventing it from sinking. If the issue persists, check the material for damage.
Reduced airflow from the airstone.
Check for any blockages in the tubing or the airstone. Clean the tubing and replace the airstone if necessary.
Tubing appears to be damaged.
Inspect the tubing for any cuts, tears, or significant wear. If damage is found, replace the affected section or the entire length of tubing.
