Introduction
The Poolmaster Manual Pool Vacuum Hose is designed for efficient manual cleaning of inground and above-ground swimming pools. This heavy-duty, flexible hose measures 30 feet in length and 1-1/2 inches in diameter, making it suitable for most standard pool vacuum systems. It features a swivel cuff to prevent tangles and kinks, ensuring smooth operation. Constructed from tough, spiral-wound EVA material, it is UV- and chemical-resistant, with poly-welded cuffs for enhanced strength and crush resistance.
Setup Instructions
- Connect to Manual Vacuum Head: Attach the swivel cuff end of the hose directly to your manual pool vacuum head. Ensure a secure connection to prevent air leaks.
- Connect to Skimmer or Vacuum Inlet: Connect the non-swivel end of the hose to your pool skimmer or dedicated vacuum inlet. Verify that this connection is also tight.
- Important Note: This hose is designed exclusively for manual pool cleaning and is NOT compatible with automatic or robotic pool cleaners.

Operating Instructions
- Purge Air from the Hose: Before connecting the hose to the skimmer or inlet, slowly submerge the entire hose into the pool water. This allows the hose to fill with water and expels all air, preventing air from entering your pump system and causing loss of suction.
- Begin Vacuuming: Once the hose is full of water and connected, attach your manual vacuum head to a telescopic pole. Slowly guide the vacuum head across the pool floor, covering all areas to collect debris. Move the vacuum head in slow, overlapping strokes to ensure thorough cleaning.
- Maintain Suction: Ensure the vacuum head remains fully submerged during operation to maintain consistent suction.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your Poolmaster Manual Pool Vacuum Hose:
- Durability: The hose is made from flexible, UV- and chemical-resistant EVA material, designed for long-lasting use in pool environments. Its poly-welded cuffs provide added strength and crush resistance.
- Storage: After each use, ensure all water is drained from the hose. Coil the hose neatly and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This prevents material degradation and helps maintain its flexibility.
- Kink Prevention: The integrated swivel cuff helps prevent tangles and kinks during use. Avoid forcing the hose into tight bends during storage.

Troubleshooting
- Loss of Suction: If you experience reduced or no suction, first check all hose connections to ensure they are tight and free of air leaks. Confirm that the hose has been fully purged of air before starting the vacuuming process. Also, inspect your skimmer basket for clogs and ensure your pool pump is running effectively.
- Hose Kinking: While the swivel cuff is designed to minimize kinks, excessive pulling or improper coiling can still cause them. If a kink occurs, gently straighten the affected section. Always coil the hose loosely for storage.
