How to use

Shut down the filter and disconnect power before removing the old hoses. Detach the existing inlet and outlet tubing from the filter and aquarium fittings, then measure and cut the new hoses to the required lengths if necessary. Fit the replacement hoses onto the filter connectors and aquarium fittings, ensuring secure attachment and correct routing to avoid kinks. Reassemble any clamps or quick-connects, refill or top up the aquarium water as needed, and restart the filter while checking for proper flow and any leaks.

Usage recommendations

Inspect hoses periodically for deposits, discoloration or stiffness and replace them when signs of wear appear. Use hose clamps or the original securing clips to ensure leak-free connections. When trimming tubing, cut cleanly and squarely to ensure a tight fit with connectors. For best results, perform tubing replacement during routine filter maintenance and follow the filter manufacturer’s safety instructions regarding power disconnection and priming.
