Pool Mate Pool Vacuum Hose 36 ft x 1-1/4 in — Spiral-Wound, UV-Resistant & Flexible

The Pool Mate 36 ft. x 1-1/4 in. Premium Pool Vacuum Hose is a durable, spiral‑wound vacuum hose designed to deliver maximum water flow, flexibility, and long-lasting UV and chemical resistance for routine pool cleaning.

This hose is built for regular pool maintenance: its spiral‑wound core balances strength and flexibility so it resists kinking while maintaining an open passage for debris and water. The abrasion‑resistant outer shell and special U.V. coating help protect the hose from sun exposure and chemical wear, extending useful life compared with standard garden hoses. It connects to standard 1-1/4 inch vacuum fittings and is intended for straightforward assembly with most manual pool vacuum heads and telescoping poles.

How does the spiral‑wound construction improve performance?

The spiral‑wound design creates a ribbed inner structure that resists collapse under suction while allowing the hose to bend around pool corners. That structure keeps water moving freely instead of restricting flow, which helps the vacuum work more efficiently. It also distributes bending stress so the hose flexes without cracking.

• Maintains an open bore for consistent suction
• Flexible enough to navigate steps and curves
• Reduced risk of kinks and internal collapse

What makes this hose resistant to sunlight and chemicals?

The hose features a U.V. protective coating on the exterior and materials selected for chemical compatibility with common pool treatments. Those elements slow surface degradation, fading, and brittleness that can occur from prolonged sun exposure or repeated contact with chlorine and other sanitizers. Regular rinsing after heavy chemical use further preserves the outer shell.

• Special U.V. outer coating reduces sun damage
• Abrasion‑resistant shell stands up to rough surfaces
• Material choice improves tolerance to pool chemicals

Will this hose fit my existing vacuum setup and how do I connect it?

The hose has a standard 1‑1/4 inch diameter that fits most manual pool vacuum heads, skimmer connections, and telescoping poles designed for that size. Connections are typically made with standard hose cuffs or adapter fittings included with many vacuum kits; if an adapter is needed, measure your existing fittings and match the 1‑1/4 inch diameter. Ensure the hose sections are securely joined to prevent air leaks that reduce suction.

• Standard 1‑1/4 in. diameter for common pool equipment
• Pairs with manual vacuum heads and skimmer adapters
• Use proper fittings or clamps to maintain airtight connections

How should I care for the hose to extend its lifespan?

Store the hose out of direct sun when not in use, ideally coiled on a rack or hung to avoid pinching. After heavy chemical use or long storage, rinse the hose with fresh water to remove residue that can accelerate wear. Inspect for cuts or excessive abrasion and replace if structural integrity is compromised.

• Coil or hang in shade to limit U.V. exposure
• Rinse after chemical treatments to remove deposits
• Check fittings and shell for wear before each season

Who is this for: Pool owners and maintenance professionals seeking a robust, flexible vacuum hose that supports strong water flow and long service life. It suits above‑ground and in‑ground pools that use manual vacuuming, particularly where frequent bending, abrasion, or strong sun exposure would wear lesser hoses quickly. Choose this Pool Mate hose if you need a reliable 36‑foot length and a standard 1‑1/4 inch connection for routine pool cleaning tasks.
