Description
Hailea 4mm clear airline is the tubing that connects your air pump to air stones in a reservoir, nutrient tank or hydroponic system. It is sold by the metre, so you buy exactly the length you need.
Why aerate your reservoir?
Roots need oxygen as well as water and nutrients. An air pump pushing air through an air stone keeps nutrient solution oxygenated and moving, which helps keep roots healthy and the tank fresh. It is essential in deep water culture (DWC) systems and useful in any recirculating reservoir.
Features
- 4mm clear tubing, the standard size for most air pumps and air stones
- Clear, so you can see any blockages or water in the line
- Sold per metre: order the number of metres you need
Setting up
- Push one end onto the outlet of your Hailea air pump.
- Push the other end onto an air stone and drop it into the bottom of your reservoir.
- Keep the pump above the water level. If it has to sit lower, fit a non-return valve in the line so water can't siphon back into the pump if it stops.
Running more than one air stone? Use a pump with multiple outlets, or split the line with a gang valve. Browse our irrigation and watering range for pumps and fittings.
FAQs
How much airline do I need?
Measure from the pump to the bottom of each reservoir, add a little slack, and order that number of metres.
Will it fit my pump?
4mm is the standard size for most hobby and aquarium-style air pumps and air stones. If you're unsure, bring your pump in or message us a photo.
