Eastrans 1-1/2 in x 100 ft Pool Backwash Hose - Heavy Duty Discharge

In this review the Eastrans 1-1/2 in x 100 ft pool backwash hose is evaluated as a practical, heavy-duty option for homeowners who need a long discharge hose for pool draining and backwashing. The single biggest reason to buy is its sturdy construction: made from reinforced industrial soft PVC with spiral and longitudinal layers, it is designed to resist wear and aging while handling typical pump pressures. The reviewer found it especially useful when a long, flexible, weather-resistant hose is needed for moving dirty water away from pool equipment.

Key Features

• Universal Standard Size: The 1-1/2 in inner diameter and 100 ft length provide long reach and compatibility with standard 1.5 in hose adapters and smaller Schedule 40/80 PVC connections.
• Upgraded Materials: Newer production materials and processes improve tear and wear resistance compared with ordinary hoses, helping it last through repeated backwash cycles.
• Durability: Reinforced with one longitudinal strand and two spiral layers for better leakage prevention, enhanced abrasion resistance and improved aging performance.
• Wide Temperature Range: Rated to work from about 23 F to 149 F (-5 C to 68 C), so it performs in cold starts and hot summer conditions without rapid degradation.
• High Working Pressure: A working pressure around 90 PSI makes it suitable for most pool pump discharge and backwash applications without ballooning or collapse.
• Hardware Included: Supplied with five stainless steel hose clamps for quick, secure fittings and easier installation or removal.

Who It's For

This hose is aimed at pool owners and maintenance DIYers who need a long, robust discharge line for backwashing filters, draining pools or routing waste water away from the equipment pad. Its length and reinforced build make it a good match for aboveground and inground pools where reach and abrasion resistance matter.

Those who require exact, tight tolerance fittings or who must connect to a nonstandard PVC pipe should check diameter compatibility carefully; a few customers noted size mismatches when trying to fit certain PVC sizes. If a very thin, lightweight temporary hose is preferred, a lighter duty product may be a better choice.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Thick, reinforced PVC construction improves longevity and resists tearing during routine backwash use.
• Includes five stainless steel hose clamps to secure connections quickly and reliably.
• Long 100 ft length gives flexibility to route discharge away from pool and equipment areas.
• Wide temperature tolerance and 90 PSI working pressure suit most residential pool setups.

Cons

• Some buyers report mixed fit and seam issues, so careful selection of hose size and inspection for seam integrity is recommended.
• The hose can be thicker or heavier than expected, which may be less convenient for frequent handling or storage.

Our Verdict

The Eastrans 1-1/2 in x 100 ft pool backwash hose is a sensible buy for pool owners who need a durable, long discharge hose that resists abrasion and withstands typical pump pressures. It offers good value with included stainless clamps and robust construction, but buyers should confirm diameter compatibility and inspect seams if tight fittings are required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this hose fit a standard 1.5 in pump outlet?
Yes, it is sold by inner diameter to fit a standard 1.5 in hose adapter, though buyers should confirm adapter and PVC pipe tolerances.

Is the hose suitable for cold weather use?
Yes, it is rated to operate down to about 23 F (-5 C), so it can handle cooler conditions without rapid material failure.

Are clamps included for attachment?
Yes, five stainless steel hose clamps are provided to secure connections and simplify installation.
