Need Help With Hosing

[SaTiVa1984]

Hello,

I have a Aqua One Aquis 1200 external filter which i have used for over a year now, i bought it second hand for £20, and it has given me no issues until now.

The pipes that came with it are not original and the taps were customized to fit the current piping, which looks like flexi pipe (the one with the ridges), However tonight after a water change i noticed one of the taps leaking slowly, it appears to have slightly cracked and there is no way to fix it.

So i have been looking up replacement parts and i am struggling, i have found the taps but i have no intention in modifying them to fit my current hose's, so i started looking for hoses and stumbled upon something that has stumped my simple mind lol

The taps:

* In / Out Tap
* 16/16 mm
* Includes Seals
* Genuine Aqua One Spare Parts

The 16/16 mm has me confused, i have no idea what this means, and every hose or pipe i find seems to be labelled something like 16/22 mm, can anyone explain what this means?

I have also found replacement kits online including hosing, but i am not willing to spend £30 on something that should only cost me around £10-15 to get it working again.

Would this hose fit onto my tap connectors (Note 16/22mm in specs):

Thanks.

The sizing of the pipe refers to the internal and external diameter so it will always state two different figures.

i dont know about your pump but the pipe sizes are for the inner and outer diameters.so 16/22 is 16mm inner diameter and 22mm outer diameter.best thing to do is measure your old pipe or measure the tap fitting.most common pipe sizes are 12/16mm and 16/22mm.

So i guess the 16/16 mm spec on the taps refers to the inner diameter on both in and out taps?

I just hope the tap connector can force its way over the 22mm outer diameter hose.

Thanks, i will measure the tap fitting as that will be my best guess, the outer connector that holds the original pipe is no longer on my taps, it was removed by the previous owner for some strange reason.
