DAVCO 2" ID x 50 ft Pool Backwash Hose — Blue Reinforced PVC Lay‑Flat with 2" Aluminum Camlocks

The DAVCO 2" ID × 50 ft pool backwash hose is a heavy‑duty reinforced blue PVC lay‑flat discharge hose supplied with aluminum 2" camlock C and E quick‑connect fittings for fast pump and pool filter draining.

Built for pool maintenance, temporary water transfer and general discharge tasks, this hose combines a polyester‑reinforced PVC body with aluminum cam & groove couplings to deliver a reliable, kink‑resistant line that lays flat for storage. At 50 feet long and 2 inches inner diameter, it fits common pump outlets and pool backwash ports and can be spliced to longer runs with matching camlock adapters.

How durable is this hose for repeated pool use?

The hose uses once‑molded PVC reinforced with polyester yarn, giving it tear resistance and improved pressure handling compared with non‑reinforced lay‑flat hoses. It resists oils, grease, mild acids and many chemicals commonly encountered in pool service, and the aluminum cam fittings are corrosion‑resistant for repeated connects and disconnects.

• Reinforced PVC body with polyester yarn for strength and flexibility
• Once‑molded extrusion prevents delamination and water absorption
• Aluminum male (E) and female (C) camlock couplings for repeated use
• Lay‑flat profile reduces kinking and saves storage space

Will this hose connect to my pump or pool backwash outlet?

The kit includes a 2" aluminum male camlock (type E shank) and a 2" aluminum female camlock (type C shank) to mate with common cam & groove pump or pipe fittings. If your pump or pool outlet uses a threaded or different cam type, simple adapters (type A, F or threaded adapters) are available to convert fittings without cutting the hose.

• 2" ID / 3.4" flat width fits many standard pumps and backwash ports
• Includes camlock types E (male shank) and C (female shank)
• Compatible with additional camlock segments for longer runs
• Adapters available for threaded or alternative quick‑connects

How easy is it to handle, store and deploy this 50 ft hose?

The lay‑flat design collapses to a narrow strip when empty, making it easy to roll up and store without bulky coils. Its lightweight reinforced construction keeps it manageable for one or two people to deploy and retrieve during backwash or pump‑out chores. Quick‑connect camlocks cut setup time, so you spend less time handling hose ends and more time on maintenance tasks.

• Lays flat for compact storage and fast deployment
• Lightweight yet rigid enough to resist twisting during use
• Quick‑release camlock system for fast hookups and breakdown
• 50 ft length covers typical pool discharge distances without extra couplings

What are the common uses and limitations to know?

This hose is ideal for swimming pool backwash, pump discharge, temporary water transfer, irrigation, construction dewatering and general drain jobs. It is not a permanent pressurized plumbing line—use within its intended discharge and pressure rating, and pair with correct adapters and clamps if connecting to threaded systems. Avoid sharp abrasion and prolonged UV exposure to extend service life.

• Great for pool filter backwash, pump discharge and site dewatering
• Not intended as permanent buried plumbing or high‑pressure pipe replacement
• Protect from sharp edges and long‑term direct sunlight when possible
• Use proper camlock adapters for mismatched outlets or threaded fittings

Who is this for: The DAVCO 2" × 50 ft pool backwash hose is aimed at pool service professionals, homeowners who perform their own pool maintenance, landscapers and contractors who need a portable, quick‑connect discharge line. If you want a robust, easy‑to‑store lay‑flat hose with aluminum camlocks for regular backwash and pump‑out work, this model balances durability, convenience and compatibility.
