With a 2\" inside diameter, 50-foot length and reinforced polyester mid-layer, it resists kinks, abrasions and twisting while delivering up to 90 PSI working pressure. Aluminum camlock couplings with brass levers and stainless-steel clamps provide corrosion-resistant connections that lock firmly to most standard pool pump and filter outlets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this hose improve pool backwashing and draining?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Picatu backwash hose lets you route discharge water quickly and safely away from your pool area. Its lay-flat design keeps the hose compact when not pressurized, and the reinforced core maintains flow without collapsing under suction or pressure. Durable fittings reduce the chance of leaks during extended backwash cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e50 ft length reaches distant discharge points without extra extensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-layer PVC with polyester reinforcement prevents tears and kinks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e90 PSI working pressure handles typical pump flows and pressures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum camlocks with brass levers provide secure, corrosion-resistant seals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this fit my pool pump and filter connections?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hose is fitted with a 2\" female Type C coupler and a 2\" male Type E connector installed at the ends, making it compatible with most standard pool pump and filter fittings.
