Would braided hose avoid this potential problem?

Thanks. They look good but I don't have anywhere to put one!

The printed version is £8.99 with postage and packing etc, see www.waterscape.com/shop for details of how to order. The web version is FOC apart from printer ink.

The Catalina arrangement looks very neat and appears to comply with the BSS requirements, but as touched on this thread already, we would want to see some protection eg cover, just for the high pressure side including the regulator, which also has a hole that should be kept protected from water - see page 22 of Chapter 7 (check 7.7.5) for details.

The UV will eventually attack the the gas hose, but nothing lasts forever. Be prepared to replace it sooner that you would hose shut away in the relatively dry and dark. Signs of aging include cracking on the outer surface especially when flexed, and eventually leading to a change of colour to white and brittleness again when flexed.

Thanks for that reply Rob. It's very helpful.
