Warning: Loose suction hose clamps can ruin your day (trust me)

I nearly flooded my pump room last week because of one that came undone. Now I do a quick visual check before startup (it takes two minutes) and it's already saved me from a huge mess.

Nah, that "quick visual check" sounds like extra busy work to me. If your clamps are put on right the first time, they should hold. Adding a two minute step every single day adds up to a lot of wasted time over a year. Most setups are fine and don't need daily babysitting. You just got unlucky once, but making it a rule for everyone is overkill. I'd only bother if the system was already acting weird.

Think clamps never slip? @jackson.sage, that's crazy!
