Classic 2" x 50' Backwash Hose with Skin Wrap | DH2050
Heavy-Duty Backwash Hose for Pool Filter Cleaning and Waste Water Drainage
Keep your pool equipment area clean and efficient with the Classic 2" x 50' Backwash Hose with Skin Wrap (DH2050)—a durable, high-capacity discharge hose designed to handle demanding pool maintenance tasks.
This heavy-duty hose connects easily to your filter’s waste line or backwash port, allowing you to drain water quickly and direct discharge away from your pool area during filter cleaning, vacuuming to waste, or water level adjustments.
Built for strength, flexibility, and longevity, the DH2050 provides the reliability professionals demand and the durability homeowners appreciate.
Designed for High-Flow Performance
The Classic DH2050 Backwash Hose features a 2-inch inside diameter that delivers fast, unrestricted flow during backwash cycles. Whether you’re cleaning a sand, DE, or cartridge filter system, the large internal volume ensures water moves efficiently without clogging or kinking.
It’s ideal for:
-
Draining pools and spas
-
Vacuuming to waste
-
Water transfers and rinsing operations
The hose remains flexible under pressure, making it easy to roll out, use, and store between cleanings.
Premium Skin-Wrapped Construction for Extra Durability
Unlike standard blue discharge hoses that crack or fray over time, the DH2050 includes a reinforced “skin wrap” outer layer that enhances resistance to abrasion, punctures, and UV exposure.
The triple-layer design combines:
-
Heavy-duty PVC inner core for water pressure containment.
-
High-tensile polyester reinforcement for flexibility and strength.
-
Protective outer skin wrap for superior wear resistance.
This layered construction ensures long-lasting performance—even when dragged over concrete decks, gravel, or grass.
Withstands Pressure, Sun, and Chemical Exposure
The Classic 2" x 50' hose is built to handle the toughest pool conditions. It resists cracking from chlorine, ozone, and direct sunlight, maintaining flexibility even after repeated exposure to chemicals and high temperatures.
The skin wrap finish not only protects against UV degradation but also provides a smoother surface that reduces snagging and makes coiling easier after use.
Easy Connection and Setup
Attaching the DH2050 backwash hose is simple and fast:
-
Slip the hose over your filter’s 2” waste line or backwash fitting.
-
Secure with a stainless steel hose clamp (recommended for leak-free use).
-
Unroll the hose to your desired length before starting the backwash cycle.
-
Direct discharge to a safe drainage area away from plants or erosion-prone soil.
When finished, simply rinse the hose, allow it to drain, and coil it neatly for compact storage.
Space-Saving, Portable, and Easy to Store
The Classic DH2050 hose rolls up flat for convenient transport and storage. Its lightweight yet rugged design makes it ideal for pool technicians and homeowners who need an easy-to-handle hose that doesn’t take up unnecessary space.
Each 50-foot section provides plenty of reach for most pool pad setups, and additional hoses can be connected for longer drainage runs when needed.
Built for Professional and Residential Use
The DH2050 is the standard choice for pool service pros, commercial facilities, and homeowners who want professional-grade performance. Its combination of flexibility, durability, and abrasion resistance makes it one of the most reliable discharge hoses available for pool maintenance.
Protects Landscaping and Hardscapes
Using a proper backwash hose helps prevent water erosion and damage to patios or lawns. The DH2050’s high flow rate allows you to direct waste water precisely where you want it, keeping decks, walkways, and landscaping dry and protected.
