I have the second dark blue hose in the picture, had to use clamps to keep ends from popping off. If I buy a new one, am I getting the first hose in the two pictures? It looks better made with crimped ends…thanks.

This Interconnect Hose currently comes with the crimps on the outside like the first picture on the listing. Please let us know if you have any issues with the hose failing! 

I have this hose one on my x2, had to put clamps on the hose to keep it on the fittings…..can you use the 5/16 smaller hose like on the xero pure on the x2? Or does it need the bigger hose because it puts out more pure water? Thanks.

For the X2 you should keep the larger inner diameter hose instead of the smaller hose
