Suction-side pool cleaners depend on sealed, flexible hose sections to move properly and maintain strong vacuum power. The APC 4' Aqua Suction Hose Replacement (APC204A) is designed as a direct replacement hose segment for suction-side pool cleaners, helping restore proper suction, balance, and cleaner performance when an existing hose section wears out.

This 4-foot aqua-colored hose section allows targeted replacement instead of requiring a full hose assembly, making it a cost-effective and professional solution for maintaining cleaner efficiency. Built from pool-grade materials, it resists chemical damage, UV exposure, and stiffness over time.

Why Replacing Individual Suction Hose Sections Matters

Suction-side cleaners operate as a closed system. A single cracked, brittle, or loose hose section can introduce air, reduce suction, and cause poor cleaner movement.

Replacing individual hose sections matters because it helps:

• Restore consistent suction and cleaner propulsion

• Eliminate air leaks that reduce vacuum performance

• Prevent pump strain and loss of efficiency

• Extend the life of your existing hose assembly

The APC204A allows you to fix the exact problem area without replacing parts that still work.

How the APC Aqua Suction Hose Works

This hose section connects securely to compatible suction-side cleaner hoses using standard twist-lock style connections, creating an airtight seal between segments. Its flexible construction allows the hose to bend naturally as the cleaner navigates the pool floor, walls, and transitions.

The aqua-colored material is formulated to resist chlorine, sunlight, and chemical degradation, helping the hose remain flexible and reliable through repeated use.

When to Use the APC 4' Aqua Suction Hose

The APC204A suction hose is ideal when:

• A suction cleaner loses power or stops moving correctly

• Hose sections show visible cracking, stiffness, or splitting

• Air bubbles appear in the pump basket

• Cleaner coverage becomes inconsistent

• Individual hose segments need replacement or length adjustment

It can be used as a replacement or extension section in compatible suction-side hose assemblies.

Compatibility with Pool Cleaners

The APC 4' Aqua Suction Hose is compatible with most standard suction-side pool cleaners that use modular hose systems. It integrates easily with existing hose sections to maintain proper length, balance, and performance.

Always confirm hose diameter and connection style match your specific cleaner model before installation.

Durable, Pool-Grade Construction

Manufactured from flexible, chemical-resistant materials, the APC204A suction hose is designed to withstand:

• Continuous chlorine exposure

• UV sunlight and outdoor conditions

• Repeated flexing during cleaner operation

This durability ensures consistent performance and longer service life compared to worn or brittle hose sections.

Installation & Use Best Practices

To install, remove the damaged hose section and snap the APC204A into place between existing hose segments. Make sure all connections are fully seated to prevent air leaks.

After installation, run the cleaner and observe movement. Adjust total hose length if needed for optimal coverage. Store unused hose sections out of direct sunlight when not in use.
