White Tapered Lead Hose for Hayward Pool Cleaners – 4' Hose
Designed for Precision Fit and Smooth Suction Flow
Keep your Hayward automatic pool cleaner running strong with the White Tapered Lead Hose – 4 Foot Section, a premium replacement hose designed to deliver optimal water flow, suction strength, and flexibility.
Engineered specifically for Hayward suction-side pool cleaners, this lead hose ensures a perfect transition between the cleaner head and standard hose sections, allowing for smooth navigation, improved debris pickup, and a longer cleaner lifespan.
Whether you’re maintaining a residential pool or a commercial system, this tapered lead hose provides the durability and performance expected from professional-grade pool parts.
Tapered Design for Secure Connection
The unique tapered end design allows a snug, watertight fit between the pool cleaner and the hose line. This eliminates air leaks and pressure loss, ensuring your cleaner maintains full suction throughout its cleaning cycle.
The wide end connects easily to standard 1.5-inch vacuum hose sections, while the narrow end attaches directly to your Hayward cleaner head, forming a seamless connection that enhances water flow and maneuverability.
Built to OEM Standards for Hayward Cleaners
This 4-foot tapered lead hose is built to meet or exceed OEM performance standards and is compatible with popular Hayward suction cleaners, including:
-
Hayward Navigator®
-
Hayward Navigator Pro®
-
Hayward PoolVac XL®
-
Hayward PoolVac Ultra®
-
Hayward AquaBug®
If your original Hayward hose features a white, tapered section at the cleaner connection, this is the correct replacement part.
Durable, Flexible, and Chemical Resistant
Crafted from high-strength polyethylene, this hose is UV-stabilized and chemical resistant—designed to handle constant water exposure, chlorine, and heat.
Its corrugated outer layer prevents kinking and crushing, while the smooth inner bore promotes uninterrupted water flow. This results in more consistent suction power and reduced wear on your pump and cleaner motor.
4-Foot Length for Lead Section Replacement
The 4-foot length matches the standard lead hose size used on most Hayward suction cleaners. The lead hose connects directly to the cleaner and acts as the primary suction channel, so it’s critical to replace it if you notice cracks, stiffness, or loss of suction.
Replacing only the lead section—rather than the entire hose assembly—helps restore full cleaner performance while saving on maintenance costs.
Easy Installation – No Tools Needed
Replacing your lead hose is quick and simple:
-
Disconnect the old lead hose from your Hayward cleaner.
-
Attach the tapered end of the new hose to the cleaner head.
-
Connect the other end to your existing standard hose section.
-
Twist gently to ensure a snug, airtight seal.
-
Test your cleaner’s suction and movement before full operation.
No clamps, adhesives, or special fittings are required—just a firm, secure push-to-fit installation.
Maintains Optimal Suction and Cleaner Mobility
The lead hose is one of the most important components in a suction-side cleaner setup. A damaged or leaking hose can lead to:
-
Weak suction and missed debris
-
Poor cleaner movement or stalling
-
Air intrusion that stresses your pump
-
Reduced efficiency and higher energy use
Replacing a worn lead hose restores full cleaning performance, protecting both your equipment and water clarity.
Compatible, Dependable, and Long-Lasting
This White Tapered Lead Hose is fully compatible with Hayward’s factory design, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable operation. Its crush-resistant, UV-protected polymer keeps it performing even in direct sun or under constant water pressure.
Pool technicians and homeowners alike trust this replacement hose for its ease of installation, durability, and OEM-quality build.

Why Replace Your Lead Hose Regularly
The lead hose takes the most stress in your vacuum hose system. It’s constantly bending, twisting, and flexing during operation. Over time, this can cause:
-
Hairline cracks that leak air into the system
-
Stiffness or kinking that limits cleaner movement
-
Reduced suction that leads to incomplete cleaning
Replacing your lead hose yearly—or as soon as you notice damage—ensures your cleaner continues to perform efficiently and quietly.
