1 in x 100ft PVC Lay Flat Discharge Hose With Aluminum Camlock

Our review of this 1 in x 100 ft PVC lay flat discharge hose finds it best suited for homeowners and light contractors who need a long, flexible drain or backwash line. The single biggest reason to buy is its heavy duty PVC body reinforced with high tensile polyester yarn, which delivers reliable abrasion and chemical resistance for seasonal pool backwash, sump and trash pump use. The included 1 in aluminum camlock Type C and Type E fittings and stainless steel clamps make the hose quick to connect to many pump setups while offering a sturdy, no-nonsense build.

Key Features

• Reinforced PVC construction: The hose body uses double-sided coating and polyester yarn reinforcement to resist abrasion and aging, helping it last through repeated draining jobs.
• Aluminum camlock fittings: 1 in Type C coupler and 1 in Type E connector are fitted on both ends to speed connection and support secure coupling to compatible pumps and adapters.
• High pressure rating: With a working pressure of 90 PSI, the hose is designed to resist bursting during typical backwash and pump discharge tasks.
• Long reach: The 100 ft length gives ample distance for routing to remote drains or staging filtered discharge away from the work area.
• Wide temperature range: Rated from 23F to 149F (-5C to 65C), it can be used across seasons without significant loss of flexibility.
• No-leak design elements: Multi-section camlock shanks plus a black rubber ring and added sealant at the connections reduce the chance of leaks when properly mated.

Who It's For

This product is aimed at pool owners performing routine backwash, homeowners using sump or trash pumps, and small contractors who need a flexible drain hose with durable fittings. Its 100 ft length and reinforced PVC construction make it useful for moving water away from homes, pools, and work sites without needing frequent joins.

Those who should look elsewhere include professionals requiring specialized pressure ratings above 90 PSI or hoses with different coupling standards built-in; also buyers who need guaranteed compatibility with non-camlock pump outlets should confirm required adaptors before purchase.

Pros & Cons
