Bioscape Tropic Hose Adapter Red Clip for 800/1200
A genuine replacement hose adapter for Bioscape Tropic and Aqua Pro canister filters 800 and 1200. This is the red spring clip that locks the intake or return hose onto the canister head — order it if the original has cracked, lost its grip, or gone missing, rather than replacing the whole hose assembly.
Key features
- Direct fit for the 800 and 1200 canister filters — the same clip used across both models in the range.
- Genuine Bioscape part — matched to the original hose adapter's fit and clip tension.
- Sold individually — buy just the clip you need rather than a full hose kit.

Compatibility, spares and supersession
This adapter fits the Bioscape Tropic (and co-branded Aqua Pro) Canister Filter 800 and 1200 only. It is not the part used on the larger 1600 or 2200 canister models in the same range, which use a different hose fitting — check your model number before ordering.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable as a like-for-like replacement for a cracked, loose or missing red hose clip on the 800 or 1200 canister filter. Not a fit for other canister sizes or other brands' filters.
Care and maintenance
Check the clip's grip on the hose each time you service the filter — a loose or cracked clip is the usual cause of a slow leak at the hose connection, and is cheaper to replace than to keep re-seating.
Warranty and delivery
Covered by Bioscape's manufacturer warranty in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.
Common questions
Will this fit my Bioscape 2200 canister filter?
No — this clip is sized for the 800 and 1200 models only. The larger canister models in the range use a different hose fitting.
Why does the colour say it may vary?
Bioscape notes that the replacement clip's exact shade of red may differ slightly from the original part fitted at the factory — this doesn't affect fit or function.
Do I need to replace the whole hose, or just the clip?
Just the clip in most cases — this part replaces the adapter that locks the hose onto the canister head, not the hose itself.
