2 in x 100 ft Pool Backwash Hose - Heavy Duty Lay Flat Discharge

In this review the reviewer looks at the 2 in x 100 ft Pool Backwash Hose and finds it a solid option for pool owners and contractors who need a long, reinforced discharge hose. The bottom line is simple: this hose is built for durability and routine backwash or drain jobs, with a braided polyester core and thick PVC walls that resist bursting and chemicals. It comes with a metal clamp for quick hookups, and its fit for 2 in adapters and most schedule 40/80 PVC makes it straightforward to use for most pool filter systems.

Key Features

• Size compatibility: The 2 in inside diameter and 3.4 in flat width fit standard 2 in hose adapters and many schedule 40/80 PVC pipes, making connections simple for most pool setups.
• Reinforced construction: High tensile strength braided polyester fiber and extra-thick walls provide reinforcement to resist bursting under normal backwash pressures.
• Weather and chemical resistance: The PVC lay flat construction stands up to outdoor conditions and pool chemicals so the hose can be used season after season.
• Included clamp: Each hose ships with a new metal clamp so users can attach the hose to pipes or filter outlets quickly without sourcing extra hardware.
• Versatile use: The hose is suitable for draining above ground pools, backwashing sand filters, sump and trash pumps, and other water discharge tasks around the yard or job site.

Who It's For

This hose is aimed at homeowners and service technicians who need a dependable, long discharge line for backwashing pool filters, draining pools, or moving water away from patios. Its heavy-duty braid and thick PVC walls make it a good match for routine pool maintenance and seasonal draining where durability matters.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who require specialty fittings beyond the stated maximum outside diameter limit or very high-pressure pump applications above the rated working pressure. Also consider a different size if your system uses pipe or adapters larger than 2 in O.D.
