Use uniseals. Cheaper, easier, better.

For my filter I bought one and made one. The one I bought leaked the homemade one didn't. The one I made was made out of pvc electrical conduit male and female adapters and silicone. I bought the parts at Home Depot. Don't use regular pvc plumbing adapters because the threading is different.

I bought mine online at pondliner.com

Me too, I bought my bulkheads at Home Depot. Funny that they only sell that kind of thing in the electrical dept.

I third looking into uni-seals, I've had a set on outside in the weather for six years never leaked, very cheap, easy to install, and the work!

I don't worry about leaking since my liner is up around both of my filters and if they leak it runs right back into the pond because both filters are tilted ever so slightly towards the pond .The filters ever over flow it goes back into the pond too .I did not want to worry about any of that stuff .Plus my hose is inside the pond and runs along the side of the inside of the pond and waterfall .I don't have the time right now to tend to the pond so the less I have to worry about the little things the better

Aquatic Ecosystems in Apopka Florida has a good selection of aquaculture and pond supplies. Uniseals do work well, but are limited to thin walled tanks.

never used a uniseal and never heard of them before .I have loosened and reused my tank adapters over and over again when I build bigger filters .
