Shopper Is this a good octopus for a 19. Pony bottle and how long is the hose?
Are you happy with it?
KONSTANTIN D Hi ,
the hose is 3 Ft.
I did not have the chance to test it in water but it looks good
Thanks
DARRELL H We bought four of these for our student set ups. Great little octo for the money. It would work great on a pony. Hose is about 21". If your using it for a deco bottle, make sure it is O2 clean.
CLARE M hi, it is not clear what you mean by " a good octopus for a 19". what is Pony bottle?
the hose is long enough.
I use it as an octopus and works fine. good value for the money.
PETER L Yes, this octopus is decent, light, flexible and with a yellow hose. It ought to be suitable for use with a pony bottle. The hose is about 3.3ft and I have no complaint thus far.
ROBERT O I have one on my back up rig. Tested it and it works good. Hopefully I will need to use it. It does not breathe as easy as my Atomic B2. But if I need it , I will be headed to the top anyway. Mine has a 36 inch hose. Plenty long enough.
Good deal at the price.

ASHLEY R The hose is about 40? long. Not sure how it would work on a pony bottle, but we have been happy with the octo. The swivel feature makes it easy for a buddy to use and it is very light. The only issue we have had was the balance between the first stage and the octo. After about 30 dives both of our octos began to leak slightly, same day same dive. Turns out they were set 10 pounds lower than the first stage port. It was any easy adjustment by the technician and we have had no issues since.
NICK T I actually haven't had the chance to use it yet so I can't me of much help. For the price though, I think it's tough to beat and if it doesn't work out, you didn't lose too much money. I'm going to use it as my primary octo, but I don't see why it would not work well on your pony bottle.
The hose is about 3 ft. long. For what it's worth, I'm thinking about upgrading to miflex/maxflex hoses.
Hope that helps!
EMILIO A For the price you are paying for is a good octo, no complains at all. The hose is 40 in. long.
