DAVCO 2 in ID 50 ft Pool Backwash Hose - Heavy Duty Reinforced PVC

In this review the DAVCO 2 in ID 50 ft Pool Backwash Hose is assessed for pool owners and service pros who need a long, reliable discharge line for backwashing, draining and temporary pumping tasks. The bottom line: it is a practical, heavy duty reinforced PVC hose that performs well when matched to the correct 2 in ports, with the single biggest reason to buy being its combination of 50 ft reach and sturdy pin-lug aluminum fittings that reduce leaks under typical pool backwash and pump use.

Key Features

• Standard 2 in size: Fits common 2 in pump ports and valves so it can be threaded onto many pool and sump pumps without adapters.
• 50 ft length: Gives ample reach for moving discharge water well away from the pool or work area without needing couplers.
• Reinforced construction: PVC extruded body with polyester yarn reinforcement resists bursting under the hose's 90 psi working pressure.
• Aluminum pin-lug fittings: Male and female 2 in connectors are fixed with stainless clamps to minimize leakage at the joints.
• All-season resistance: UV, abrasion, oil and chemical resistance makes it suitable for outdoor use across seasons.
• Easy hookup: Threads onto compatible pumps much like a garden hose, simplifying setup for backwashing and draining tasks.

Who It's For

The DAVCO backwash hose is aimed at homeowners with above-ground and in-ground pool sand filter systems, service technicians who need a portable discharge line, and anyone using sump, trash or sewage pumps that accept a 2 in connection. Its length and reinforced wall make it useful when water needs to be routed a distance from the pool filter or pump.

It is not ideal for systems that require nonstandard fittings or for users needing an ultra-light roll-up hose for frequent storage changes - some users noted mixed experience with rollability and a few reported fitting leaks when not tightened correctly, so buyers who need specialty connectors or a compact hose for travel should consider alternatives.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Sturdy reinforced PVC construction gives confidence against bursts during normal backwash and pump use.
• Aluminum pin-lug fittings with stainless clamps reduce the chance of leaks when properly installed.
• 50 ft length covers common needs for pool backwash and draining without extra connections.

Cons

• Some users report occasional leakage around the fitting if clamps are not fully tightened or if fittings are mismatched.
• Rollability varies by user; it may not pack as compactly as lighter lay-flat hoses for storage.
