Suction Line Problems

Your pool cleaner hose can make or break your cleaning efficiency—avoid rookie mistakes by choosing the right type. Standard vinyl works for above-ground pools but fails with heavy-duty cleaners, while reinforced rubber suits robotic units but struggles in tight corners. Swivel-end hoses are ideal for suction cleaners, preventing kinks. If your cleaner stalls, check the hose length (measure from cleaner to skimmer plus 3 feet) and balance buoyancy with weights spaced every 4-5 feet. For Suction Line Problems, use Teflon tape on loose connectors or PVC glue to seal leaks (check for bubbles underwater). Hose Maintenance Tips include storing it shaded to prevent UV damage and replacing it when cracked or stiff. Upgrade your Pool Cleaner Hose setup, and you’ll turn a tangled nuisance into a cleaning powerhouse.
