Depends on the diameter. We have used a hose with one of those baloon
attachments and we have used a hose pure and simple. How far a run do
you have to get it clear?
===========================We figured out the problem. It wasn't the hose itself but a narrow area
where the water goes into the filter on the Tetra Filters. Plant debris w
as
clogged there because we didn't put the "clam basket" on the pump last ti
me.
We pulled up the pump, cleaned it out, put it back in a basket, clea
ned
out the filter's intake fitting and it was like new. We didn't realize t
he
clog was at the filter intake.
