Suction-side pool cleaners rely on airtight hose connections to move properly and maintain consistent cleaning coverage. The 4' Blue Suction Hose (APC204B) is a direct replacement hose section designed specifically for Pentair SandShark®, Kreepy Krauly® Kruiser®, and Rebel® suction-side pool cleaners.

When even one hose section becomes cracked, stiff, or loose, cleaner performance drops quickly. This 4-foot replacement hose allows you to restore proper suction and cleaner movement without replacing the entire hose assembly, making it a cost-effective and professional repair solution.

Why Replacing Individual Suction Hose Sections Matters

Suction-side cleaners operate as a sealed system. Any air leak—no matter how small—reduces suction, causes erratic movement, and increases pump strain.

Replacing worn hose sections matters because it helps:

• Restore proper cleaner traction and movement

• Eliminate air leaks that reduce suction power

• Prevent pump cavitation and efficiency loss

• Extend the life of your existing cleaner system

The APC204B lets you fix the problem at the source instead of replacing parts that still work.

How the APC204B Suction Hose Works

This hose section snaps securely into compatible suction-side cleaner hose assemblies, creating a tight, watertight seal between segments. Its flexible construction allows natural movement as the cleaner travels across pool floors and walls.

The blue, pool-grade material is engineered to resist UV exposure, chlorine, and chemical breakdown, helping the hose maintain flexibility and durability over time.

When to Use the APC 4' Blue Suction Hose

This suction hose is ideal when:

• A SandShark, Kruiser, or Rebel cleaner loses movement

• Hose sections show cracking, splitting, or stiffness

• Air bubbles appear in the pump basket

• The cleaner no longer tracks properly

• Individual hose segments need replacement or length adjustment

It can be used as a replacement or extension segment in compatible hose assemblies.

Compatible Pool Cleaners

The APC204B suction hose is designed specifically for use with:

• Pentair SandShark®

• Pentair Kreepy Krauly® Kruiser®

• Pentair Rebel®

It integrates seamlessly with original hose sections for proper fit and balance. Always confirm cleaner model compatibility before installation.

Durable, Pool-Grade Construction

Manufactured from flexible, chemical-resistant materials, this suction hose is built for continuous underwater use and outdoor exposure. It resists:

• Chlorine and sanitizer degradation

• UV damage from sunlight

• Repeated flexing during cleaner operation

This ensures reliable performance and longer service life compared to worn or generic hose sections.

Installation & Use Best Practices

To install, remove the damaged hose section and snap the APC204B into place between existing hose segments. Ensure each connection is fully seated to prevent air leaks.

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