BLU52 Replacement Hose 1m

The BLU52 Blue Replacement Hose 1m is a universal suction-side pool hose section designed for compatibility with a wide range of automatic pool cleaners.

This one-metre segment features a robust, spiral-wound construction that provides high crush resistance and flexibility, ensuring efficient debris removal and uninterrupted suction performance across various swimming pool shapes and sizes.

Product Specifications and Features

• • Universal Compatibility: Specifically engineered to fit almost all standard suction-side automatic pool cleaners and weir vacuum lids.
• • Spiral Wound Design: Heavy-duty reinforced construction prevents the hose from kinking or collapsing under high vacuum pressure.
• • Standard Dimensions: Each section measures exactly one metre in length with a standard thirty-eight millimetre internal diameter for seamless connections.
• • UV Stabilised Plastic: Manufactured from high-quality PVC materials that resist the degrading effects of intense sunlight and common pool chemicals.
• • Lightweight Profile: The low-weight design reduces the drag on your pool cleaner, allowing it to move freely and climb walls more effectively.
• • Airtight Cuffs: Precisely moulded end connectors provide a snug, airtight fit to eliminate suction leaks that can cause pump cavitation.

Ideal Use and Application

• • Sectional Replacement: Ideal for replacing single worn or punctured sections of an existing hose string without needing to buy a complete set.
• • Extending Reach: Add extra one-metre lengths to your current setup to ensure your automatic cleaner can reach the furthest corners or steps.
• • Simple Assembly: Push the male cuff firmly into the female end of the adjacent hose segment to create a secure friction-grip seal.
• • Surface Suitability: Compatible for use in concrete, fibreglass, marbleite, and vinyl-lined pools.

Care and Maintenance

• • Chemical Balance: Maintain proper water chemistry, as excessively high chlorine levels can cause the plastic to become brittle over time.
• • Storage Advice: When removing the cleaner for swimming, store the hose in a straight line in a shaded area to prevent it from developing a permanent coil.
• • Leak Detection: Periodically check the joints for air bubbles or hissing sounds which indicate a loose connection or a cracked cuff.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • Will this fit my specific cleaner brand? Yes, the universal thirty-eight millimetre fitting is designed to be compatible with most major brands found in South Africa.
• • How many sections do I need? You should connect enough segments to reach from your weir to the furthest point of the pool, plus one extra section for slack.
• • Can I use this for manual vacuuming? While primarily for automatic cleaners, these sections can be joined together for manual vacuuming tasks if needed.

Pro Tip for Pool Owners

• • If your hose sections are difficult to push together or pull apart, avoid using petroleum jelly or grease as these can damage the plastic and attract dirt.
• • Instead, simply dip the hose ends into the warm pool water for a few seconds; the heat will slightly expand the cuffs, making them much easier to connect for a perfect airtight seal.
