Product Information
Full details
The Evolution Aqua LPD Tube is an essential component designed for pond hobbyists using Eazy Pod and Nexus Eazy filtration systems. It provides a reliable, airtight conduit for air distribution, helping to maintain optimal oxygen levels in biological filters. While this 12mm x 10mm tubing is highly effective for its specific brand ecosystem, it is designed exclusively for use with Evolution Aqua's proprietary quick-release fittings rather than standard universal air line hardware.

FAQs
Can I use this tube with other brands of filters?
This tube is specifically designed for Evolution Aqua Eazy Pod and Nexus Eazy filters. It may not provide a secure, airtight seal with non-proprietary fittings.
Is the 12mm measurement the inner or outer diameter?
The tubing is 12mm outer diameter and 10mm inner diameter.
Does this tube require hose clamps?
No, this tubing uses a push-to-connect system that provides a secure, airtight seal without the need for clamps or tools.
How do I disconnect the tube?
Push back the blue release ring on the fitting and pull the tube gently out.
How often should the LPD tube be replaced?
Replace the tube if you notice hardening, cracking, or if the connection no longer holds an airtight seal.
Troubleshooting
Air is leaking at the connection point
Ensure the tube is cut squarely and pushed firmly into the fitting. If the end is worn or frayed, trim a small piece off to expose fresh material.
Tube is difficult to disconnect
Ensure you are pushing the blue ring evenly and completely before pulling the tube out; do not yank the tube without engaging the release mechanism.
Airflow to the filter seems weak
Check the tube for kinks or bends that may restrict airflow, and verify that the connection at both the pump and the filter is fully seated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the cut end of the tube is straight and free of debris. Align the tube with the quick-insert fitting and push firmly until you feel the tube seat securely. To disconnect, apply steady pressure on the blue ring of the fitting while gently pulling the tubing away. For maintenance, keep the tube away from sharp edges or extreme heat sources. Periodically inspect the ends of the tube for cracks or wear; if the tube feels loose or the airtight seal is compromised, trim the end or replace it with a fresh length of original Evolution Aqua LPD tube to maintain maximum filter efficiency.
