Air Hose (air tubing, air pipe, air line), aeration diffusers and accessories
Numerous hose options from food-grade hose to mining hose are available.
We supply bulk rolls of aquarium/fish tank air hose. This high quality plastic tube is suitable for fresh and salt water. The air tube remains flexible for years.
We supply clear PVC hose in various diameters.
- J01A02: 4.2mm ID, 6.2mm OD this wall professional/industrial/aquaculture hose, available per meter and per roll, 390m/roll.
- J01A01-t: 4mm ID, thin wall air hose for general use, good quality, available per 100m roll and per meter
- 8, 10, 12 mm ID, thin and thick wall clear PVC and other hoses

Air Stones, diffuser pipes and air taps
Air stones
We have an air stone price list. Please email us at Ecotao and we will send you the current stock price list.
Omega Air-Stone Sintered:
These airstones are made under high temperature and have a strong structure. These air stones are very hard and do not break easily.
- K01I01: 5/8” x 7/8”: 100pcs/box and sold individually.
- K01IO2: 6/8” x 2”: 100pcs/box and sold individually.
- K01108: 6/8” x 1 1/4”: 100pcs/box and sold individually.
Micropore aeration hose
The micropore hose can deliver 30-40 liters per minute per meter of hose with some pressure loss.
10mm ID micropore aeration hose is the most practical and popular. We stock a range of hose internal diameters and wall thicknesses.
The aeration hose is a type of non-toxic rubber composite. The diffuser hose has small pores throughout the hose.
We have a 10 line manifold system for 400 liters per minute in a square meter area.
Air diffuser pipe
This pipe tends to be expensive compared to micropore diffuser hose, so is now largely replaced by the micropore diffuser hose for commercial applications. We do not stock this pipe, but can order it on request.
- The air bubbles disperse evenly; highly efficient for oxygen transmission.
- Little pressure loss.
- Simple structure, lightweight, easy installation.
- This product is made of EPDM, which is long-life, durable, and resistant against elasticity weariness.
- The diameter of the air-bubbles is 1-2mm.
Ceramic diffuser
Ceramic diffusers are real micro bubble diffusers. The air bubbles are so fine that they appear like smoke in the water. Ceramic air stones are the most efficient diffusers available, allowing you to increase yield while controlling the cost of expensive gases. Typically they are run directly off pure oxygen or CO2 bottles as they require a high pressure to get air through the diffuser.
Generally, we stock the above ceramic diffuser, but various sizes and designs are available.
Air taps / valve / switch for airline
These taps plug into PVC or LDPE pipe lines.
Air taps are used to control air stone air flow in commercial operations:
Manifold air taps
The above aeration accessories include plastic and metal air taps and non-return air valves for fish tanks.
The manifolds divide the air delivery and allow control of each line.
