1-1/2 in x 25ft PVC Lay Flat Pump Discharge Hose - Heavy Duty Backwash

Our review of this 1-1/2 in x 25ft PVC lay flat pump discharge hose finds it most useful for homeowners, pool technicians and landscapers who need a straightforward, durable backwash or drain hose. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of flexible PVC construction and polyester reinforcement, which delivers a hose that lays flat for storage yet withstands typical pump discharge pressures up to 90 PSI. For those who need a basic, chemical-resistant drain or backwash hose with common pin lug fittings, this hose hits the practical marks.

Key Features

• Advanced material: Flexible PVC with circularly woven polyester yarn reduces the risk of leaks and tears for longer service life.
• Standard diameter: The 1.5 in diameter and 25ft length cover most pool backwash, sump and trash pump needs without excessive joins.
• Reliable fittings: Aluminum male and female pin lug shanks with brass swivel nut and stainless steel clamps offer corrosion resistance at connection points.
• No leak joint: Molded extruder joints filled with sealant and a rubber ring in the swivel nut help prevent water leakage under pressure.
• Wide temperature range: Rated for 23F to 149F (-5C to 65C), it adapts to seasonal outdoor use for most climates.
• Multipurpose use: Suitable for pool backwash, draining, sump and sewage pumps as well as filter and sand pump applications.

Who It's For

This hose is aimed at people who need a practical, easy-to-store discharge hose for occasional to regular outdoor pump use, including pool owners performing backwash, gardeners draining ponds, and contractors moving water on job sites. Its standard 1.5 in pin lug fittings make it compatible with many common pumps and filters.

It is less suitable for users requiring very high abrasion resistance, constant heavy-duty industrial use, or those who need custom diameters or lengths beyond 25ft; professionals with extreme-duty specifications should consider higher-grade specialty hoses.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable reinforced PVC construction that resists oils, grease and many chemicals.
• Convenient lay-flat profile and rollability for compact storage and transport.
• Stainless steel clamps, brass swivel nut and aluminum pin lug fittings reduce corrosion at connections.
