EheimPlastic Hose 3 Meter 12/16 mm

Expensive but use the real thing. If you're settling up any Eheim filter system, use the actual OEM green tubing. It cuts smoothly, seals beautifully, remains pliable pretty well (you DO re-plumb all your hoses every couple of years when they stiffen, right?!), mine has never leaked, and I like the look of the "ugly old fluorescent green Eheim stuff". To me, it has always said "quality German engineering", like Beemer grey!Note - I have seen a handful of terrible reviews of other products such as inline heaters where the person says, "it leaks all over, even with hose clamps!" That is often the result of trying to use standard US 1/2 inch tubing on 12mm metric fittings, such as those on Eheim canisters. It LOOKS half-inch, but it's actually 12/16 mm, this size. If you've got something like that, use the actual right sized metric wrench and you're far less likely than strip the bolt! Or leak water all over. A GREAT deal of aquarium equipment is European and Japanese and Chinese made, and is actually in metric sizes, so do use the right tubing. Proper tubing is definitely less expensive than professional flood damage cleanup and possible eviction if you're a renter...

While it is expensive, it is a metric tube diameter, good luck finding that in the United States, it's a direct replacement for the Eheim tubing that came with my filter. I had a quick turnaround to get the filter replumbed and repaired, bit the bullet, purchased, came within a day or two. Great product, would purchase again.

I recently moved my Eheim canister filter to another tank and needed to change hose lengths. I struggled to find tubing at the hardware store close to the metric sizes of this hose. I bit the bullet and bought the original 14/16 mm Eheim hose. It's a bit expensive, but I would rather have good leak-proof fittings than a drips or a flood.

It is what I was looking for and I have no issues with it or the delivery.

Great fitFit my Eheim Double Tap Quick Release perfectly. The green color of the hose is slightly lighter and softer than the hose which came with my 2217.

Hose worked great and was size that was advertised. Only downside was it wanted to keep the curled up shape it arrived in.

works fine but hard to see through if dirty because of colored tubing

Came promptly but lately the hose seems to close up where it goes over the turtle tank. This is something that never was a problem until lately and is somthing that I have used for years.

Unfortunately I bought this as I needed extra hose for the fish tank but it’s too small to fit the outlets in my pipe work for my tank I would need to buy at least two sizes bigger but never mind they will come useful for something else

Not a lot to say really other than the hose is well made...does the job for which it was intended.

Ordered wrong size but good tubing

Arrived on time,got a second hand eccopro filter with grubby old tubes, this was more than enough to replace all the old tubing, whole system looks good as new
