Commercial-Grade Durability for Reliable, Long-Term Use

Get unmatched suction performance and long-lasting reliability with the Animal Masterflex 1 ½" x 45' Heavy-Duty Pool Vacuum Hose, designed for professional pool service technicians and demanding residential users. Built to handle the rigors of daily cleaning, this hose features industrial-grade construction, UV-resistant materials, and superior flexibility for effortless use in any pool environment.

Whether you maintain large commercial pools or service residential accounts, the Masterflex 45-foot hose delivers the durability, suction power, and kink resistance you need for efficient cleaning every time.


Designed for Professionals – Built to Outlast Standard Hoses

The Animal Masterflex series is trusted by pool professionals who need a hose that performs day after day without collapsing, twisting, or splitting under pressure. The 45-foot version offers an ideal balance of reach, strength, and maneuverability, making it perfect for both deep and wide pools.

Key Benefits

  • Heavy-duty commercial-grade construction built to last.

  • 1 ½-inch diameter for maximum water flow and suction power.

  • Kink-resistant spiral-wound design for smooth movement.

  • UV-protected outer shell prevents cracking and color fading.

  • Flexible in all weather conditions – won’t stiffen in cold water.

  • Leak-free swivel cuff ensures secure connection to vacuum heads and skimmer ports.

  • Lightweight for easy handling, even when fully extended.

The Animal Masterflex hose is engineered to deliver dependable cleaning power without the frustration of tangles, suction loss, or premature wear.


Industrial-Strength Hose Construction

Built to perform under heavy use, the Animal Masterflex 1 ½" hose features a dual-layer design: a tough external ribbed shell for abrasion resistance, and a smooth internal bore that maximizes suction efficiency.

This unique structure reduces drag and prevents internal turbulence, resulting in faster, cleaner vacuuming and reduced strain on your pump system.

Construction Highlights

  • Outer layer: Reinforced EVA with UV inhibitors for long outdoor exposure.

  • Inner layer: Smooth PVC core for unrestricted water flow.

  • Cuffs: Factory-molded swivel and fixed cuffs for tight, reliable connections.

The result is a hose that performs like new season after season, even in high-chlorine or sun-exposed environments.


Ideal for Commercial and Residential Pools

Whether you’re servicing hotel pools, apartment complexes, or backyard installations, the Animal Masterflex 45' Vacuum Hose is built to meet professional standards.

Common Applications

  • Commercial pool maintenance – large decks and long skimmer-to-pump distances.

  • Residential pools – deep ends, large surface areas, and irregular shapes.

  • Service routes – portable and dependable for daily field use.

  • Pool startups and heavy cleanings – debris-heavy environments or post-storm cleanup.

Its long reach allows you to clean efficiently without constantly repositioning the hose or equipment.


Leak-Free Performance with Precision-Molded Cuffs

The 1 ½" swivel cuff ensures a tight, no-leak seal with your vacuum head, while the opposite fixed cuff attaches securely to your skimmer or suction port. These precision-molded cuffs prevent suction loss and allow smooth rotation while vacuuming, reducing tangling and user fatigue.

Every Animal Masterflex hose undergoes quality testing to ensure proper fit, flow rate, and vacuum integrity under working pressure.


Flexible and Easy to Maneuver

The spiral-wound design gives the Masterflex hose its signature combination of strength and flexibility. It bends easily around pool corners and steps but resists kinking and collapse under suction. The hose’s lightweight design also makes it easier to coil, store, and transport, reducing fatigue during long cleaning sessions.

Even in cold water or shaded pools, the hose stays flexible—never stiff, brittle, or twisted.


Long-Lasting UV Protection

Pool service environments can be tough on equipment, especially under constant sunlight. The Animal Masterflex Vacuum Hose is treated with UV-resistant compounds that prevent fading, cracking, and brittleness over time. This protective coating extends the hose’s lifespan and maintains its strength and flexibility even after years of outdoor exposure.


Maintenance and Storage Tips

To keep your Animal Masterflex Vacuum Hose in peak condition:

  • Rinse with fresh water after each use to remove chlorine residue.

  • Store in a shaded area or on a hose reel to avoid kinking.

  • Avoid dragging across sharp edges or concrete.

  • Coil loosely and avoid tight bends to maintain flexibility.

  • Inspect cuffs regularly and replace if signs of wear appear.

With proper care, your hose will deliver consistent, leak-free performance for multiple pool seasons.
