Our industrial grade weighted hose is reinforced with a polyester braided sleeving to better prevent bursting or expansion due to overheating and/or back pressure. The fiberglass layer also serves to help prevent punctures from rodents or sharp objects. It performs well up to a maximum pressure of 80 psi, compared to regular ballasted hoses.
The Torpedo™ is weighted and metal free; it resists twisting and is designed to be the air supply hose line in your aeration projects.
This ballasted air intake pipe sinks from its own weight in water because its density is higher than that of water. This makes for a quick and efficient installation of your aeration system. It is available in ⅜″, ½″, ¾″ and 1” inner hole diameter sizes to suit all needs.
Installing your air distribution system has never been easier! The Torpedo weighted hose stays in place at the bottom of the water and won't disturb swimmers or boat propellers. Its dark color makes it virtually invisible once in the water and keeps your body of water looking natural. This hose is very flexible compared to other products on the market, even in very cold water, which makes it easy to install.
