im thinking about running airline hose from my skimmer pump to outside air .. it would be a good 25 foot run . will it work and whats the benefits to doing this .. any input on this and the pros and cons .
 
Yea, it would work. It would better stabilize your PH in the winter time when the house is all closed up.
 
Kinda, I'd make it a bit bigger for air flow if its really long.
 
Yes what reefing said above as the longer the run the larger the tubing should be so I would up at least a couple of sizes!
 
Thats what I was wondering if I needed to go bigger after 10' ..
