Robin,

I have used standard hose clamps for years and
have never had a problem.

I'd like to use stainless steel clamps to fasten
an out-take tube to a pump
in my water garden. This tube runs from the pump
out to the filter.

I've heard stories about fish being poisoned by
different metal objects in
the pond. Does anyone know if stainless steel is
fish-friendly? This is a
small water garden of only 650 gallons.

I was using plastic tie-clips for a while, but
the tube keeps falling off
the pump and I have to readjust it.

Thanks,

Robin
