What material is the hose made from?

The hose is made from reinforced, UV-resistant PVC plastic.

Can I use this hose with a high-pressure water pump?

How do I cut the hose?

Use a sharp utility knife or cutting tool to ensure a clean cut.

Is the hose UV resistant?

Can I bury this hose underground?

While the hose is durable, consider using a more robust pipe for underground installations to prevent damage from external factors.

Troubleshooting

Hose is leaking at the connections.

Tighten the hose clamps or replace the connectors to ensure a watertight seal. Ensure the hose is properly seated on the connector.

Reduced water flow.

Check for kinks or blockages in the hose. Clear any debris that might be restricting water flow. Ensure the hose isn't crushed or pinched.

Algae growth inside the hose.

Use a hose cleaner or mild detergent to clean the hose. Consider shading the hose to reduce light exposure, which promotes algae growth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Installation: Cut the hose to the desired length using a sharp utility knife or appropriate cutting tool. Ensure clean cuts for a secure fit.
  2. Connections: Use appropriate hose connectors and clamps to securely attach the hose to pumps, fittings, and other components. Ensure a watertight seal to prevent leaks.
  3. Compatibility: The Pisces hose is compatible with most standard pond and garden fittings with a 25mm (1 inch) diameter. It is designed to work with low-pressure applications; do not use with high-pressure systems.
  4. Care: Regularly inspect the hose for any signs of damage or wear. Clean the hose periodically to remove any debris or algae buildup. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that could restrict water flow or damage the hose. Store the hose in a shaded area when not in use.
