When longer reach and reliable water discharge matter, the Classic 2" x 50' Backwash Hose with Skin Wrap (DH2050) delivers dependable performance for pool backwashing, draining, and filter maintenance. Designed to handle high-volume water flow, this heavy-duty hose provides the flexibility and durability needed for both residential pool owners and professional service technicians.

With its extended 50-foot length, this backwash hose allows water to be discharged farther away from pool equipment and structures, helping prevent erosion, flooding, or water damage during routine maintenance.

Why a Longer Backwash Hose Matters

Backwashing and draining often require directing large volumes of water away from the pool area. A hose that is too short can limit placement options and create unnecessary mess or risk.

Using a longer, durable backwash hose matters because it helps:

• Discharge water safely away from pool decks and foundations

• Reduce overspray and pooling near equipment pads

• Improve efficiency during sand and DE filter cleaning

• Provide flexibility for different pool layouts and yard conditions

The Classic 2" x 50' Backwash Hose is built to handle these demands consistently.

How the Classic DH2050 Backwash Hose Works

This hose is constructed from flexible PVC material reinforced with a protective skin wrap. The 2-inch diameter supports strong, unrestricted water flow, while the skin wrap helps protect the hose from UV exposure, abrasion, and wear caused by repeated outdoor use.

The hose remains compact when stored and expands under pressure during operation, making it easy to deploy and manage during maintenance tasks.

When to Use the Classic 2" x 50' Backwash Hose

The DH2050 is ideal for a wide range of pool maintenance applications, including:

• Backwashing sand and DE filters

• Draining pools or spas for service or seasonal care

• Discharging water during cartridge filter cleaning

• Situations requiring extended reach from the equipment pad

Its length makes it especially useful for pools where water must be directed far from structures or landscaped areas.

Compatibility with Pool Equipment

The Classic 2" x 50' Backwash Hose is compatible with most standard pool filter systems that accept a 2-inch backwash connection. It works with common multiport valves and backwash outlets found on residential and light commercial pool systems.

When properly secured with a hose clamp, it provides a stable, controlled discharge without excessive movement or leakage.

Built for Repeated, Seasonal Use

Unlike thin disposable hoses, this skin wrap backwash hose is designed for repeated use throughout the pool season. The reinforced exterior helps reduce cracking, splitting, and degradation caused by sun exposure and contact with rough surfaces.

This makes it a practical investment for pool owners who backwash regularly and service technicians who rely on consistent equipment performance.

Use & Care Best Practices

For best results, ensure the hose is securely attached before starting backwash or drain cycles. Avoid sharp bends during operation to maintain optimal water flow.

After use, allow the hose to drain fully and store it away from prolonged direct sunlight when possible to extend its usable life.
