Features and Benefits

  • Long-lasting UV resistance: With an estimated lifespan of around 10 years in full sun, this hose is built to endure the elements.
  • Kink and flatten-proof design: The ribbed construction prevents any kinking or flattening, even on tight bends, ensuring uninterrupted water flow.
  • Unobtrusive black colour: The hose's black colour helps it blend in with its surroundings and prevents it from looking dirty over time.
  • Easy pump adjustments: Easily move your pump without removing the hose attachment for a hassle-free experience.

How to Use

  1. Choose the appropriate location for your pond, aquaponics system, or garden irrigation setup.
  2. Cut the hose to the required length using sharp scissors or a hose cutter.
  3. If connecting to a barbed fitting, first heat the hose end in warm-to-boiling water to soften it.
  4. Attach the hose to the desired fitting, such as a BSP threaded fitting, using a steel or spiral clamp to secure it in place.
  5. Make any necessary adjustments to your pump, fittings, or irrigation system for optimal performance.
  6. Always monitor the hose for any signs of wear and replace as needed to maintain efficiency and safety.
