2in x 164ft Pool Backwash Hose LayFlat - Heavy Duty Drain Hose

Our review of the 2in x 164ft pool backwash hose finds it best for pool owners, landscapers and contractors who need a long, lightweight discharge hose that resists kinks and abrasion. The single biggest reason to buy is the construction: a polyester yarn outer layer with a polyurethane inner wall gives a smooth, tough bore that bends easily and handles water pressure without obvious leakage in normal use. For anyone moving large volumes of water from a pool filter, sump pump or irrigation point, this hose balances strength and portability better than thin vinyl alternatives.

Key Features

• Durable construction: The polyester yarn outer layer and polyurethane inner wall combine to deliver a hose that is wear resistant and tear resistant for repeated outdoor use.
• Smooth flow: The coated inner wall is smooth and designed to maintain steady water flow and resist leakage under typical backwash and discharge pressures.
• Long reach: At 164 ft length, this hose lets users discharge water well away from a pool or work area without added couplers.
• Layflat design: The flat, white hose folds and rolls up for compact storage and is lightweight for easy carrying and deployment.
• Practical fittings: The included stainless steel wire clamps help secure the hose to a filter port or pump to reduce loosening during use.
• Visible color: The white color is easy to identify across a yard or job site and helps spot dirt or damage early.

Who It's For

This hose is suited to homeowners maintaining pools, landscape contractors moving irrigation water, and light industrial users who need a temporary open discharge line. Its 2in inner diameter and 164 ft length are particularly useful when the discharge point must be distant from the pool or work area.

It is not aimed at high-temperature fluid transfer or permanent buried installations; buyers needing specialty chemical resistance, very high pressure ratings, or permanent underground piping should look for hoses specified for those applications.
