I've changed the bottom ring on mine and tbf it's easy, just get your new and old pipe side by side and drill the holes the same distance apart takes about 10min.
Have the same problem every few years. Don't think the nylon air pipe from EA is meant to last,as I have mine covered and it still fails. So I will be looking to do something similar to yourself when I need to. As the pipes become very brittle and once that starts,it isn't long before you have to replace it all. Also nice to see I'm not the only one running the nexus pump fed👍
The pipe i have used came from amazon and 10m wasnt too much at all. Its called john guest push fit pipe size 12/9mm so the walls of it are much thicker than the ea pipe.
Can you post the link to the pipe & fittings on the valves please Martin ? Thank you. lol leaving the waste open, I do it too, so we are both going mad !! Koi looking beautiful.

Here's a tip, turn it upside down so dirt don't block the holes #scrag68
