Pumps, filters, waterfalls, and bottom drains rely on pipework to move water between them. Getting the pipe size and connection type right from the start prevents leaks and re-working later.
What is pond pipework?
Pond pipework is the pipe, hose, fittings, and valves that carry water between your pond and the equipment. This includes pump to filter, filter to waterfall, or bottom drain to filter. Pond-grade parts have been specifically designed to cope with constant flow and outdoor conditions.
Why should I buy pond pipework and fittings?
Every pump and filter needs plumbing in to your system. A single mismatched joint can leak or cause a restriction to the water flow, so it's important to choose parts that are right for your setup. It's also worth keeping spare clips, unions, and a valve in case of future repairs.
What are the main types of pond pipework and fittings?
Our range falls into two main categories, with rigid pipework split into three types:
- Flexible Pond Hose and Fittings: Spiral anti-kink hose from 12mm to 50mm, plus hosetails, clips, valves and adapters for connecting pumps and filters
- Rigid Pond Pipe and Fittings: Fixed pipework for permanent runs, in the three types below
- Pond PVC Pipe and Fittings: Solvent weld pipe, fittings, ball valves, bottom drains and tank connectors
- Pond Pressure Pipe and Fittings: Grey pipe rated to 9 bar at 20°C, with matching fittings and union valves
- Pond Push-Fit Pipe and Fittings: Glue-free pipe and bends for Oase Biotec filters
What should I look for when choosing pipework?
Work out the flow you will be running and choose pipe wide enough for it, because pipe or hose narrower than your pump or filter outlet restricts flow. Check the connection type (hosetail and clip, solvent weld, push-fit or BSP thread) and measure in one unit, either millimetres or inches, so everything matches. Where water is pumped uphill or into a pressurised filter, check the pressure rating. Our guide to selecting the right hose and hose clips covers hose sizes in detail.
What should I buy with pipework and fittings?
Size your pond pump and pond filter first, then choose pipework to suit them. Solvent weld joints need solvent cement, which you will find in our pond sealants, and our guide to installing a pond filter shows how the plumbing fits together.
