I ordered him to a Gardena water works unit to do this because my old tube was a little aged after 13 years. It is much lighter than its predecessor, fits perfectly on the pump connection and is totally sealed. Many believe the plastic and the sealing ring is not on the way, but I have already learned that the poet holds than all my previous installations where there is always trickled somewhere. I am very happy at the moment with the product, although I have of course made no long-term experience.
