Hose clamps

Well, can't find plastic hose clamps locally. Is it not recommended to use stainless hose clamps in saltwater? Need to secure hose to return pump.

Have you looked to order them through and online vendor?

these work for the plastic by i’m tubing as well. i’ve only ever used them for my braided return line

Yeah, going to order online. Instead of waiting a week, I will use the stainless for now so I can plumb the return lines. No water going into it for a while.

Regular old metal ones are fine. They just rust, which is just natural GFO.

I cant stand the plastic ones because they rarely ever have enough clamping pressure and are a PINA to remove.
