Suction-side pool cleaners rely on airtight hose connections to maintain consistent movement and cleaning power. The APC 4' Frost Gray Suction Hose (APC204F) is designed as a direct replacement hose section for suction-side pool cleaners, restoring proper flow, flexibility, and cleaner performance when worn or cracked hose segments start causing problems.

This 4-foot replacement section is ideal for repairing or extending an existing suction hose assembly without replacing the entire hose set. Built from durable, chemical-resistant materials, it helps maintain steady suction while withstanding constant exposure to chlorine, sunlight, and pool water.

Why Replacing Individual Suction Hose Sections Matters

Suction-side cleaners depend on sealed hose connections to function correctly. A single cracked or leaking section can reduce suction, cause air leaks, and prevent the cleaner from moving properly.

Replacing worn hose sections matters because it helps:

• Restore proper suction and cleaner movement

• Prevent air leaks that reduce pump efficiency

• Extend the life of your existing hose system

• Avoid unnecessary replacement of full hose assemblies

The APC204F allows targeted replacement instead of full system replacement.

How the APC Suction Hose Works

This hose section is designed to connect securely to standard suction-side cleaner hose fittings, creating an airtight seal that supports consistent water flow. The flexible construction allows the hose to bend naturally as the cleaner moves across the pool floor and walls.

The frost gray material is formulated to resist UV exposure and chemical degradation, helping the hose maintain flexibility and structural integrity over time.

When to Use the APC 4' Suction Hose

The APC204F suction hose is best used when:

• A suction cleaner loses power or movement

• Hose sections show cracks, splits, or stiffness

• Air bubbles appear in the pump basket

• Individual hose segments need replacement

• Adjusting hose length for pool depth or layout

It is commonly used as a replacement or add-on section for suction-side pool cleaner systems.

Compatibility with Pool Cleaners

This 4-foot suction hose section is compatible with most standard suction-side pool cleaners that use modular hose assemblies. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing hose sections for proper length and balance.

Always verify hose diameter and connection style match your cleaner’s requirements before installation.

Durable, Chemical-Resistant Construction

Manufactured from pool-grade materials, the APC suction hose is designed to withstand:

• Continuous chlorine exposure

• UV sunlight and outdoor conditions

• Repeated flexing during cleaner operation

This durability helps ensure consistent cleaner performance and longer service life.

Installation & Use Best Practices

To install, remove the damaged hose section and snap the APC204F into place between existing hose segments. Ensure all connections are tight and fully seated to prevent air leaks.

After installation, observe cleaner movement and adjust hose length as needed for optimal performance. Store unused hose sections out of direct sunlight when not in use.
