APC Suction Hose 4' Frost Gray – Replacement Pool Vacuum Hose | APC204F
Dependable Suction Hose Built for Professional Performance
Keep your pool cleaner running at peak power with the APC 4-Foot Frost Gray Suction Hose (APC204F)—a durable, crush-resistant replacement hose designed for superior flexibility, airtight sealing, and long-term reliability.
Whether you’re a pool technician or a DIY owner, this 4-foot APC hose delivers consistent suction performance and a perfect fit for most automatic and manual pool vacuums. Its frost gray color helps reduce sun fading and blends seamlessly with most modern pool systems for a clean, professional look.
Engineered for Reliability and Strength
The APC204F suction hose is made from high-strength, UV-stabilized polyethylene, specifically engineered to resist cracking, fading, and kinking under heavy use. The hose maintains its flexibility and shape even when exposed to sun, heat, and chlorine—ensuring reliable operation season after season.
Its crush-resistant spiral construction provides the durability needed for commercial and residential use alike, preventing hose collapse during suction and maintaining a constant water flow from cleaner to pump.
4-Foot Modular Length for Flexible Configuration
At 4 feet in length, the APC204F is ideal for customizing your pool vacuum setup. You can easily:
-
Replace damaged hose sections without buying a full hose set.
-
Extend your cleaner’s reach by adding sections for larger or deeper pools.
-
Maintain even hose length distribution for better suction balance and navigation.
This modular approach lets you tailor your cleaner system precisely to your pool’s layout—while saving money and maximizing efficiency.
Precision-Molded Cuffs for Leak-Free Fit
Each APC Frost Gray Hose features precision-molded cuffs on both ends to ensure a tight, leak-free connection with standard 1.5-inch vacuum fittings. The smooth inner bore improves water flow, while the cuff design guarantees a secure seal to prevent air leaks that can reduce suction performance.
When installed correctly, the APC204F hose maintains full suction from cleaner head to pump inlet, optimizing cleaning power and protecting your pump from cavitation.
Flexible Yet Rigid for Optimal Handling
The corrugated outer wall of the APC204F provides strength and kink resistance, while the inner smooth layer keeps water moving freely through the hose. This combination gives you:
-
Flexible maneuverability around corners and steps
-
High resistance to crushing under pool vacuum pressure
-
Consistent suction flow for thorough debris removal
It’s the perfect balance between flexibility and durability—engineered for real-world pool environments.
Frost Gray Finish for Modern, Sun-Resistant Design
The Frost Gray color not only looks sleek and professional, but it’s also UV-stabilized to resist fading under long-term sunlight exposure. Unlike white or light-colored hoses that can yellow or discolor over time, the APC204F retains its neutral tone, keeping your pool setup looking clean and polished.
Compatible with Major Cleaner Brands
The APC 4’ Frost Gray Hose is designed to be universally compatible with most standard 1.5-inch suction fittings, including:
-
Polaris® suction cleaners
-
Hayward® PoolVac and Navigator series
-
Pentair® Kreepy Krauly and similar models
-
Manual vacuum heads and skimmer plates
It’s a versatile, professional-grade hose section trusted by pool service technicians across the country.
Simple, Tool-Free Installation
Installing or replacing the APC204F takes just minutes:
-
Turn off your pool pump.
-
Remove the damaged or leaking hose section.
-
Align and push together the new hose section with adjoining hoses until snug.
-
Check for air leaks or suction issues before full operation.
The snug-fit cuffs ensure airtight connection without tools, glue, or clamps.
Why Replace Individual Hose Sections?
Replacing only the damaged hose sections instead of the entire hose line offers several key benefits:
-
Restores full suction power by eliminating leaks.
-
Saves money—only replace what’s worn.
-
Prevents pump strain and cavitation.
-
Extends cleaner lifespan by maintaining steady pressure.
Keeping spare APC hose sections on hand helps you perform quick, easy repairs and avoid downtime during pool season.
