Suction Hose 4' Blue for SandSharks, Kreepy Krauly Kruisers, Rebels | APC204B

The Trusted Replacement Hose for Reliable Pool Cleaning

Keep your pool vacuum running strong with the APC 4-Foot Blue Suction Hose (APC204B)—a professional-grade replacement hose designed for use with top suction cleaners like the Pentair SandShark®, Kreepy Krauly® Kruiser®, and Rebel®.

This durable, flexible, and crush-resistant hose section ensures consistent suction, leak-free operation, and smooth navigation across your pool. Whether you’re replacing worn sections or expanding your hose line, the APC204B delivers the quality and performance trusted by pool professionals and homeowners alike.

Built to Withstand Everyday Demands

The APC Blue Suction Hose is made from high-strength, UV-stabilized polyethylene, engineered to resist cracking, fading, and kinking. Its corrugated outer shell offers flexibility and durability, while the smooth inner bore ensures optimal water flow.

Unlike low-grade hoses that deform under suction, the APC204B maintains its shape and flexibility even under constant use and chemical exposure—making it ideal for both residential and commercial pools.

4-Foot Modular Design for Easy Customization

Each hose section measures 4 feet in length, allowing you to replace only what’s needed without buying an entire hose set. This modular design provides complete control over your hose setup:

• Replace damaged sections quickly and affordably.

• Extend your cleaner’s reach for larger pools.

• Maintain balanced hose length for optimal suction and mobility.

It’s the smart, cost-effective way to keep your pool system performing at its best.

Perfect Fit for Pentair Cleaners

The APC204B Blue Hose is designed for compatibility with several Pentair suction-side cleaners, including:

• Pentair SandShark®

• Pentair Kreepy Krauly® Kruiser®

• Pentair Rebel®

• Pentair Lil Shark®

It also works seamlessly with most 1.5-inch standard vacuum fittings, making it an ideal universal replacement hose for other suction cleaners and manual vacuums.

Leak-Free, Airtight Connections

Each end of the APC Blue Hose features precision-molded cuffs that form an airtight seal when connected. The snug slip-fit design ensures leak-free operation and steady suction throughout the cleaner line.

An airtight connection means:

• Stronger suction power for better debris removal.

• Reduced strain on pumps and motors.

• Consistent cleaner movement and coverage.

Air leaks in older or cracked hoses can reduce suction dramatically—so replacing them with new APC sections helps restore full cleaning performance instantly.

Crush-Resistant, Flexible Design

The spiral-reinforced outer wall prevents hose collapse even under powerful vacuum pressure. This ensures smooth, unrestricted water flow and long-term durability, even in extreme temperatures.

The flexible design allows the hose to glide easily around corners, steps, and obstacles without tangling or restricting cleaner motion.

UV and Chemical Resistance

Designed for long-term pool use, the APC204B is UV-protected to prevent brittleness and color fading under direct sunlight. It also resists damage from chlorine and saltwater, ensuring consistent performance season after season.

Whether your pool uses traditional chlorine, salt chlorination, or ozone systems, this hose maintains its flexibility and strength over time.

Ideal for Service Pros & Homeowners

Pool technicians and homeowners both trust the APC 4-Foot Blue Hose for its:

• Ease of installation (no tools required).

• Consistent suction performance.

• Professional-grade build quality.

• Cost-effective modular replacement system.

It’s the go-to choice for those who demand dependable, high-quality components that perform like OEM parts—without the OEM price tag.

Easy Installation – No Tools Needed

Installing the APC204B is quick and simple:

1. Turn off your pool pump.

2. Remove the damaged or old hose section.

3. Align the new hose cuffs with existing sections.

4. Push firmly until the connection is tight and secure.

5. Restart the pump and check for steady suction and cleaner movement.

That’s it—no adhesives, clamps, or special fittings needed.

Maintaining Proper Hose Performance

Your pool cleaner relies on airtight suction for maximum performance. Worn, cracked, or sun-damaged hoses can cause suction loss and force your pump to work harder. Replacing hose sections as soon as they show wear helps:

• Prevent air leaks and inefficiency.

• Reduce energy consumption.

• Prolong the life of your cleaner and pump.

• Maintain consistent debris pickup.

For the best performance, inspect your cleaner hose every few months and keep one or two spare APC sections on hand for quick replacements.
