Hose for pool cleaners

Pool Cleaner Hoses: Maximum Efficiency in Cleaning Your Pool

Manual pool cleaner hoses are the components for efficient manual pool cleaning. They are responsible for connecting the sweep (or suction) intake to the cleaner carriage, allowing the suction power of the pump to be correctly transferred to the cleaning equipment.

Main function

Their function is to channel the flow of water and dirt from the bottom of the pool to the filtration system, thanks to the suction effect generated by the pump. Without this connection, the cleaner trolley would not be able to suck the dirt and transport it to the filter.

Features to consider

When choosing a pool cleaner hose, it is important to consider the following aspects:

• Adequate length: It must be long enough to reach all the corners of the pool from the suction point.
• Compatible diameter: The most common have a diameter of 38 mm, although there are also 32 mm. Check the compatibility with your trolley and your sweeper inlet.
• Flexibility: A good hose must be flexible, but without strangling, to allow comfortable handling and a constant water flow.
• Resistance to chlorine and UV rays: Being constantly exposed to treated water and sunlight, hoses must be made of resistant materials.

when should they be replaced?

Over time, hoses may show signs of wear and tear such as cracks, loss of flexibility or deformations that make cleaning difficult. If you notice that the trolley is losing suction or the hose is easily crushed, it is time to replace it.

Features of AstralPool hoses

AstralPool offers a range of self-floating hoses that stand out for their durability and ease of connection. These hoses:

• Are made of blue polyethylene, with clear versions available.
• They are supplied with terminals in most sizes (except 30 m models).
• They are available in various diameters: Ø38 mm (1½") and Ø50 mm (2"). - They include reference codes for easy identification and replacement.

Buying guide: Which hose do you need?

• Small or removable pools: 8 to 10 meter hoses with Ø38 mm.
• Medium or frequently used pools: Hoses of 12 to 15 meters, Ø38 mm.
• Large pools or professional use: 30 meter hoses, Ø50 mm.

Although most pools today have a standardized sweeper intake, this has not always been the case. And if you have a pool that is a few years old, you have probably encountered the problem of not being able to connect a modern hose directly to the suction nozzle.

what type of thread is most common today?

In recent years, the use of female threaded sweeper sockets has become widespread, allowing a quick and secure connection to modern cleaning accessories. This standardization has greatly simplified maintenance, but there are still many pools in operation with older systems or special connections.

what if my sweeper socket is not standard?

That's where pool cleaner hose adapters come into play.

At Quimipool we have a specific section of adapters that allow you to:

• Connect modern hoses (with the typical white fitting) to older or less common nozzles.
• Solve incompatibilities between different manufacturers.
• Improve the watertightness of the connection, avoiding loss of suction.
