## Long description

Tetra EX 400700 intake tubing kit is a replacement set of water intake pipes designed for use with Tetra external aquarium filters. The kit provides the tubing and connection pieces necessary for water suction from the aquarium to the external filter. Intended for routine maintenance, it restores proper intake flow when original hoses become worn, discolored or partially clogged, helping maintain filtration performance and aquarium water circulation.
Advantages
The intake kit is made to match the dimensions and fittings of compatible Tetra external filter intake systems, ensuring a secure connection and leak-free operation. Replacing worn or aging intake tubing helps recover original flow rates and reduces the likelihood of debris build-up inside the suction line. Components are simple to install and can extend the service life of the external filter by preventing strain on the motor caused by restricted water flow.
Suitable for
Routine replacement of worn or clogged intake lines on compatible external aquarium filters
Restoring proper water flow and filtration efficiency in freshwater home aquaria
Maintenance during filter cleaning or equipment upgrades
Key specifications
Type: replacement intake tubing and fittings for external aquarium filter
Compatibility: designed for compatible Tetra external filter intake systems
Material: flexible aquarium-grade tubing and plastic fittings suitable for freshwater use
Function: water suction conduit from aquarium to external filter to maintain circulation and filtration
How to use
Turn off the external filter and disconnect power before handling any intake components. Remove the old intake tubing and fittings from the aquarium and filter unit, noting the routing and attachment points. Fit the new tubing onto the intake connector and secure any included brackets or clips in the same positions as the previous parts. Reinstall the intake assembly into the aquarium, prime if required by your filter model, and restart the filter. Check for proper water flow and inspect all connections for leaks after a short run period.
Usage recommendations
Inspect intake tubing regularly for signs of wear, stiffness or biofilm buildup; replace the tubing when flow decreases or physical deterioration is visible. During routine maintenance, clean nearby pre-filters and intake strainers to prevent rapid re-clogging. Use this replacement kit with compatible Tetra external filters and follow the filter manufacturer’s instructions for safe installation and operation.
