Description
Standard general purpose tubing cracks, hardens, and fails when exposed to ozone over time. When your tubing degrades, you get leaks that let ozone gas escape before it reaches your water, and those leaks can also damage your Triple O air pump from the inside.
Norprene Tubing N1010 is built specifically for ozone and air transfer in water treatment systems. Norprene is an ozone-resistant elastomer with excellent resistance to the chemical breakdown, abrasion, and high temperature conditions that destroy standard rubber tubing and vinyl alternatives. It maintains its flexibility and structural integrity through prolonged ozone exposure, outlasting general purpose tubing by a significant margin.
With a 3/16" inner diameter sized to fit Triple O ozone system fittings directly, the N1010 is available in 10-foot, 25-foot, and 50-foot lengths for typical applications ranging from a targeted repair to a full system replacement.

Features
Norprene material provides excellent resistance to the cracking and hardening that destroys standard tubing in ozone environments.
The 3/16" inner diameter supports consistent pressure and airflow between your air pump, ozone generator, and diffuser.
Multiple length options (10 ft, 25 ft, 50 ft) accommodate a wide range of typical applications from spot repairs to full system re-tubing.
The tubing maintains flexibility over its entire service life, keeping fittings secure and connections leak-free.
Superior chemical resistance and abrasion durability make Norprene tubing suitable for both residential and light commercial Triple O ozone water treatment systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Norprene lasts longer in ozone-heavy environments because it is specifically engineered to resist chemical degradation from ozone and UV light exposure. PVC vinyl tubing is more affordable and lets you visually monitor flow, but it hardens and cracks faster under continuous ozone exposure. Norprene is the better long-term choice if durability is your priority.
-
Check for visible cracking, stiffness, discoloration, or a brittle feel when you flex the tubing. You can also use the TOLD leak detection system to test for pressure drops in your ozone lines. Any tubing that no longer bends easily should be replaced before it develops leaks.
-
The 10-foot length covers most single-section repairs. The 25-foot and 50-foot options are better if you are replacing all the tubing in your Triple O system at once. Measure your existing tubing runs before ordering to make sure you have enough for your application.
