Help! Setup question

[Skylander]

I have ebb and flow system and I cant seem to secure my hose to the connectors. Im using the Caps Monster system with 3/4 hose and connections provided in the kit but they seem to slip right off. This is my first time setting up any kind of hydro systems so Im totally new to this!

Does the connector have a barb on it? If its a 3/4" connector and 3/4" hose, it should fit pretty snug. Sorry not familiar with that particular system. You may try 3/4" band clamp, get them at any hardware store.

Ive narrowed it down to the connector on my pump. All the other connectors do fit snug as you said. Im going to try the clamps as you suggested.

Gotcha, that makes sense with the pump connection, I've seen that as well. A plastic zip tie may also do trick.

While back I picked up a box of a hundred or so band clamps, with an assortment of sizes, for about $5. Its great to have a variety on hand, so I don't have to keep running to the hardware store.

Good luck Skylander!
