Manual pool vacuuming is only as effective as the hose connecting your vacuum head to the filtration system. The Smooth Flex 1-1/2" x 40' Pool Vacuum Hose with Swivel Cuff (VH2240) is engineered to deliver consistent suction, smooth handling, and long-term durability for reliable pool cleaning.

Designed for both pool owners and service professionals, this hose combines a flexible, crush-resistant body with a swivel cuff that reduces tangling during use. The 40-foot length offers excellent reach for most residential pools while remaining easy to manage, coil, and store.

Why a Quality Vacuum Hose Matters

A poorly made vacuum hose can collapse under suction, kink during use, or leak air—each of which reduces cleaning performance and increases strain on pool equipment.

Using a professional-grade vacuum hose matters because it helps:

• Maintain steady suction from the skimmer or vacuum port

• Prevent kinks and hose collapse during cleaning

• Reduce twisting and tangling while vacuuming

• Improve overall efficiency and control

The Smooth Flex design addresses these issues with materials built for real-world pool maintenance.

How the Smooth Flex Vacuum Hose Works

This hose features a smooth-bore interior that allows water to flow efficiently, helping maintain strong, uninterrupted suction. The flexible outer wall resists crushing while still bending easily to follow pool contours.

The integrated swivel cuff rotates freely as the hose moves, preventing coils and twists that commonly interrupt vacuuming. This results in smoother movement across pool floors, walls, and steps.

When to Use the Smooth Flex 40' Vacuum Hose

The VH2240 is ideal for routine and detailed pool cleaning tasks, including:

• Weekly manual vacuuming

• Residential pools with standard layouts

• Pools with slopes, steps, or deep ends

• Service routes requiring dependable equipment

• Situations where controlled hose handling matters

Its 40-foot length provides ample reach for most backyard pools without excess hose to manage.

Compatibility with Pool Equipment

The Smooth Flex 1-1/2" vacuum hose is compatible with standard pool vacuum heads, skimmer plates, and suction ports designed for 1-1/2" hoses.

It integrates easily with manual vacuum systems and common pool filtration setups. The swivel cuff provides a secure fit while allowing free rotation during operation.

Built for Professional Use

Constructed from durable, UV-resistant materials, this vacuum hose is designed to withstand repeated exposure to sunlight, chlorine, and outdoor environments. The crush-resistant structure helps maintain shape under suction and foot traffic, making it suitable for frequent use.

Pool service professionals rely on Smooth Flex hoses because they deliver predictable performance and long service life.

Use & Care Best Practices

Before vacuuming, fully submerge the hose to remove trapped air and ensure maximum suction. During storage, keep the hose straight or loosely coiled to prevent memory and kinking.

Rinse with fresh water after use and store out of direct sunlight when possible to extend hose life.
