I'm buying the last few bits of equipment that I need for my tank build. I'm looking at hose to go from my return pump, to my UV, and then back to the tank. I really like the idea of the soft silicone hose. I am needing a 1" ID size hose.
I am looking at it on BRS and I see that the wall thickness is 1/8". When I start to poke around the web at hose with the same specs everything I see says this type of hose, in this size, with this wall thickness is rated for 5 psi.
I would have 2 runs of this hose. Each about 2.5' long. The return pump is a vectra m2 and head height is about 5'. I am finding this Jose with a thicker wall and higher pressure rating but it's super expensive. Has anyone used this size hose in any length more than a few inches?
