Pool vacuum suction

Tired of fighting your pool cleaner hose? Here’s how to make it work for you. First, ditch the myth that longer hoses mean better reach—excess length causes drag and reduces pool vacuum suction. Measure your pool’s longest stretch and cut the hose to fit, adding 1-2 ft for flexibility. Floating hoses aren’t defective; they’re designed to help the cleaner move, but if they’re too buoyant, weigh them down with clips. Not all hoses are equal—opt for a UV-resistant hose to avoid cracks and leaks. Pro tips: Warm the hose in the sun before use to prevent kinks, use 4-5 ft segments for tight corners, and ensure the hose sinks slightly in above-ground pools to avoid air suction. Replace your hose if it’s cracked, persistently kinked, or won’t seal. If your cleaner spins or floats, adjust the hose length or add weights. Keep your Pool cleaner hose snug and well-sized, and you’ll spend less time troubleshooting and more time enjoying a clean pool. Cheers! 🍹
