Active Aqua 1/2 in ID Black Tubing, 25 ft Roll

Active Aqua 1/2 in ID Black Tubing, 25 ft Roll is flexible black hydroponic tubing designed for building irrigation lines, feeding from the reservoir, and drainage in your system. Being black, it blocks light, which is exactly what algae need to grow inside the lines and clog them.

Benefits

• 1/2 inch inner diameter and 25 ft roll, a convenient size for small or medium systems.
• Flexible vinyl that conforms to curves without collapsing easily.
• Black color blocks light and helps prevent algae growth inside the line.
• Compatible with 1/2 inch inner diameter barbed connectors and adapters.
• Cuts to size with a knife, no special tools required.

How to use

Cut the length you need with a sharp blade, leaving a clean and square end. If the hose is stiff, submerge the tip for a few seconds in warm water to soften it and fit it over the connector's barb. Secure connections with clamps on pressurized lines and purge with clean water between cycles.

Available at Pachamama with shipping to all of Costa Rica.
