Description
Overview
Hose is an essential consumable for filtration: over time, it hardens, becomes stained, or develops algae growth. This Zolux model, with a diameter of 9/12 mm, allows you to replace the tubing on a filter or pump equipped with 9 mm fittings, or to install new tubing.
The smoky tint filters out some of the light, so algae grow more slowly inside the tubing than they would in a completely transparent one.

ℹ️ Good to know
The 9 mm refers to the inner diameter: this is what must match the diameter of the fitting on your filter or pump. The hose can be easily cut to the desired length with a utility knife or scissors.
⭐ Tip from the team
Cut the hose straight and to the correct length: a hose that’s too long or has kinks reduces the filter’s flow rate. To make it easier to attach, dip the end in hot water for a few seconds.
