Looks like it might be an air inlet hose...usually connected to the top of the powerhead to draw air in. What kind of powerhead is it?


So, you drive a VW huh?

They've got a website at http://www.aquaglobe.com but it doesn't show that exact piece. Maybe email them at support@aguaglobe.com and see what they have to say?

BTW, I used to have a GTI...great car!

Definitely looks like a venturi. It mixes air with the outflowing water. Unless you want bubbles all over your tank, you're probably better off leaving that part off.
