DAVCO 2ft ID 100 ft Pool Backwash Hose - Heavy Duty PVC Lay Flat

In this review of the DAVCO 2' ID 100 ft Pool Backwash Hose, the bottom line is simple: this hose is aimed at pool owners and contractors who need a long, quickconnect discharge line that is easy to deploy and link together. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a full 100 ft length with aluminum camlock Type E and C quickrelease fittings, which make backwashing, pump discharge and temporary drainage much faster than threaded alternatives. It is a practical, nofrills work hose built for general water transfer rather than delicate or highabrasion jobs.

Key Features

• 100 ft length: Provides ample reach for pool backwash, pump discharge, or temporary drainage without needing multiple short sections.
• 2' internal diameter: The 2 in ID and 3.4 in flat profile support good flow rates for typical pool pump discharge applications.
• Aluminum camlock E and C fittings: Quick connect male and female camlocks let you attach and detach the hose rapidly for backflush cycles or moving pumps.
• Reinforced PVC construction: PVC with polyester yarn reinforcement gives a rigid, lightweight hose that resists kinking and holds shape when lay flat.
• Chemical resistance: The PVC formulation resists oils, grease, acids and many chemicals commonly encountered around pools and construction sites.
• Onepiece extrusion: Oncemolded by extruder plastic provides strong bonding and reduces water absorption and leak paths.

Who It's For

This hose is best for residential pool owners, landscapers, and contractors who need a long, inexpensive discharge line for backwashing filters, emptying pools, or moving water around job sites. The quick camlock fittings make it especially useful for users who swap pumps or add lengths frequently.

It is not the ideal choice for applications that demand punctureproof or abrasionresistant hoses under constant heavy traffic, nor for pumping highly abrasive slurries. Buyers who need premium burst resistance or specialized material compatibility should consider industrial hoses designed for those specific stresses.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Long 100 ft length reduces the need to splice many short sections.
• Cam & Groove E and C aluminum couplings make connections fast and simple.
• Reinforced PVC construction is lightweight, resists kinks, and handles routine chemicals.
• Flat profile stores compactly when not in use.

Cons

• Some users report punctures or occasional leakage, so it may not hold up to heavy abrasion without protection.
• Adapters may be required to fit some pump outlets or pool discharge threads, adding small extra cost.
