BLU52 Silver Replacement Hose 1m

The BLU52 Silver Replacement Hose 1m is a sectioned pool maintenance accessory designed to replace damaged segments in manual or automatic suction systems.

This flexible, 1-metre plastic pipe features a universal-fit cuff, ensuring compatibility with standard pool cleaners and weir inlets.

Its UV-resistant, silver-grey construction provides durability against harsh South African weather conditions and chemical exposure.

Ideal Use and Performance

• • Sectional Versatility: The 1-metre length allows for precise customisation of your pool cleaner's total reach, preventing unnecessary tangling or kinking.
• • Universal Compatibility: Fitted with standard 38mm cuffs, it is designed to connect seamlessly with most leading brands of manual vacuum heads and suction-side cleaners.
• • Chemical Resistance: Manufactured from heavy-duty polyethylene, the hose is engineered to withstand high concentrations of chlorine and acid without becoming brittle.
• • Flexible Suction: The corrugated design maintains its structural integrity under high pump pressure, ensuring consistent water flow from the pool floor to the filtration system.

Safety Precautions

• • Air Lock Prevention: Fully submerge the hose and fill it with water before connecting it to the weir to prevent air from entering and damaging the pool pump.
• • Suction Safety: Do not place hands or body parts near the open end of the hose while the pump is running to avoid potential suction-related injuries.
• • Storage Advice: When not in use, store the hose flat or loosely coiled in a shaded area to prevent permanent "memory" bends that can hinder movement.
• • Seal Integrity: Regularly check the cuffs for cracks or air leaks, as even a small split can significantly reduce the cleaning efficiency of your vacuum.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • Can I join multiple sections together? Yes, the male and female cuffs are designed to push-fit into one another, allowing you to build the exact length required for your pool size.
• • Does this work with "Twist-and-Lock" systems? This is a friction-fit hose; while it fits most standard systems, specialised twist-lock models may require an additional adaptor.
• • Will the silver colour fade in the sun? The silver-grey pigment is UV-stabilised to resist fading and degradation, although storing it out of direct sunlight will further extend its lifespan.
• • Is this hose suitable for salt-water pools? Absolutely; the non-corrosive plastic material is perfectly suited for both salt-chlorinated and standard chemical pools.

Clever Hack for pools

• • If your pool cleaner is constantly getting stuck in one corner, check for "hose memory."
• • You can fix this by laying your connected hose sections out straight on a hot driveway or paving for 30 minutes.
• • The sun will soften the plastic just enough to remove the coils, making the hose perfectly straight and flexible again.
