5/8" O.D. x 1/2" I.D. NOTE* - This tube is VERY thin walled to almost eliminate any back pressure that may occur.
If you are looking for a more Durable Diffuser that is super thick it can be found in our store here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/273973176547
This tubing looks similar to soaker hose, but - This is not soaker hose - this tube is made specifically for Aeration (air pressure to create thousands of bubbles) and not for water (similar to a water pressure bubble drip line). Although it may look similar it is not the same thing.
We have lots of other diffuser choices, but they are considerably more expensive. This is the least expensive option to get diffused aeration in a body of water.
This is not self-sinking or weighted tubing - you will need to weigh it down for it to sink. If attached to self-sink tube or PVC it normally will stay below the water but can still float - in which case, you will need to weight it down.
