Pool Mate 18 ft x 1-1/4 in Premium Pool Vacuum Hose — spiral-wound, UV & chemical resistant

Pool Mate's 18 ft. x 1-1/4 in. Premium Pool Vacuum Hose is a heavy-duty, spiral‑wound vacuum hose engineered for strong flow, flexibility, and long-term UV and chemical resistance.

This premium vacuum hose pairs a robust spiral-wound core with an abrasion‑resistant outer shell to deliver reliable suction and easy handling for routine pool maintenance. At 18 feet long with a 1‑1/4 inch internal diameter, it connects to most manual vacuums and skimmers, permitting full, unobstructed flow while resisting kinks and surface wear. The hose includes a UV protective coating to slow sun damage and chemical degradation, extending usable life compared with standard hoses.

How does this hose keep suction and flow consistent?

The spiral-wound internal structure preserves a rounded bore under pressure, which prevents collapse and maintains steady water flow. That design, combined with the 1‑1/4" diameter, minimizes restriction so your vacuum head and pump can operate efficiently.

• Spiral-wound core resists deformation under suction
• 1-1/4 inch internal diameter for high-volume flow
• Smooth inner surface reduces friction and blockages

Will the hose stay flexible and resist damage from the sun and pool chemicals?

Yes — the hose uses materials selected for flexibility and endurance. The outer jacket is abrasion-resistant, and a special UV coating helps guard against sun exposure. It’s also formulated to withstand common pool chemicals so it retains performance season after season.

• Abrasion-resistant outer shell for rough pool surfaces
• UV protective coating reduces sun-related brittleness
• Chemical-resistant materials slow breakdown from sanitizers

How easy is it to use, store, and connect to my pool equipment?

The hose length and standard 1‑1/4" size make it compatible with most manual vacuum systems and skimmer fittings. Its spiral design keeps it flexible for maneuvering around steps and ladders, while resisting kinks that can interrupt cleaning. Coiling for storage is straightforward thanks to the hose’s balanced stiffness.

• Standard fittings work with common vacuum heads and skimmers
• Flexible yet kink‑resistant for easy vacuuming around obstacles
• Coils neatly for compact off‑season storage

What construction features ensure long-term value?

The hose blends mechanical strength with protective finishes to extend usable life. Spiral-wound construction supplies structural integrity, while the outer coating and tough jacket protect against abrasion, sunlight, and chemical exposure. Those elements together reduce replacements and total maintenance cost.

• Spiral core for structural strength and burst resistance
• Durable outer jacket to resist scrapes and wear
• UV coating and chemical resistance for prolonged service life

Who is this for: Pool owners, maintenance professionals, and anyone who regularly operates a manual pool vacuum and wants a dependable hose that balances strong water flow with flexibility and durability. It’s especially useful for outdoor pools exposed to sunlight and for users who need a hose that handles frequent use without kinking, collapsing, or premature wear.
