Tetra Pond Tubing, Corrugated, 1 1/2 Inch x 20 Feet

Tetra Pond Tubing, Corrugated, 1 1/2 Inch x 20 FeetWell I bought this item along with the 3600gph tetra pump and the 1500uv pressure filter. Everything worked great...at first. Came home from work today and found the hose had burst and drained my 800 gallon pond. Luckily I put it on a shelf so there was still about a foot of water for my fish. My plants however did not like being stranded in 95 degree weather and I doubt they will recover.

I had my old 1200gph pump connected to the tetra waterfall filter, that pump overheated and the shaft melted so it's now garbage.

In conclusion the cheapest part, the hose failed after less than 2 weeks and it will cost me a $120 pump, probably $50 in plants, and 600 gallons of water, I hope the fish don't die.

Beware.

had it installed about 2 hours and the first 20' section burst............now I'm wondering about the other section, thank god I didn't bury it. this is not the product you want to use....now how do I get a refund for it.a worthless purchase, the cheap stuff from the lumberyard is more trustworthy........I expected more, this not the tubing you want to use

Buy Tetra Pond Tubing, Corrugated, 1 1/2 Inch x 20 Feet Now

I purchased this tubing expecting a far better result. Within a week it had burst causing my pond to go to seriously low levels. I was out of town and had to call my plumber to fix the problem only to find that the next day another major leak occurred. Do not buy this product! This tubing has caused me major set backs and now I have to redo all the pond plumbing.

They may claim this is 1 1/2" hose but not one of the 1 1/2" barb fittings I used would fit inside this hose. 1 1/4" barbs were too small and would have leaked. I didn't have time to return this dimensionallly incorrect product so I took my 1 1/2" barbs and ground them down with a belt sander until they fit. The product is "inexpensive" only if time and effort don't matter too you. I do NOT recommend this hose.

Very thin walls and does NOT have a inside diameter of 1-1/2; more like 1-1/8 or 1-1/4. Furthermore, I would strongly suggest NOT burying this. I decided to just use it for very low pressure applications; mainly backwashing.
