Superior Pump 99621 Lay-Flat Discharge Hose Kit, 1-1/2-Inch by 25-Foot PVC Hose, with Adapters

Works perfectly, thick high quality great for multiple projects

My pool man had shown me how to work the levers on my pool equipment to drain the pool. However, I have never done so and could not remember how to do it. I always add water, never have a need to drain water. Recent rain in my area added a lot of water in my pool and the water level is way too high. In order to get a quick fix, I ordered a Sump Pump. I needed a hose. So, I ordered this 1-1/2-Inch by 25-foot, Lay-Flat Discharge Hose Kit. I did not use the included fittings that came with the Pump. I used a fitting that was in the hose kit. Everything went as planned. There was no drama, the water was gushing out at the end of the flat hose. I was able to drain out the desired amount of water very easily. After I am finished using it, this hose lays flat and can be rolled/folded easily and not too heavy. I was able to move it and the pump easily. This 1-1/2Inch Diameter Flat Hose works very well in my application. While the pump has varies fittings that could accommodate 3/4“, 1”, 1 1/4” and 1-1/2” Diameters hoses, I opted for the one that can connect to the largest diameter hose. That pump has a Flow Rating of 45000 GPH. The water that is being moved (Volume) is set by the pump output. However, the speed and pressure inside the hose are controlled by the diameter of the hose. Choosing a smaller diameter hose would force the water to a higher velocity and pressure. Both are not desirable. I do not want to increase force of the water that is gushing out of the hose as I am not using this water as jet spray. Raising the water pressure inside the hose also means more stress on the hose and have more chances of water leaks at joints. I suggest that when using a sump pump to drain water, always choose the largest diameter hose that is possible. This hose kit has the connectors that fits a lot of common sump pumps. I am just glad that I made the right choice. Footnote: - Pardon the long explanation, I am a retired engineer and sometimes tend to go overboard on explaining.

Excellent hose (I use it with a sump-pump to partially drain a swimming pool). The material is very strong, and really does both lie flat and pop out to a tube under pressure. No leaks, fits perfectly to my pump and standard connectors, and performs very well.

Arrived new, as listed. In the box is the rolled hose, hose clamp, the 2 hard plastic black adapters and an instruction sheet. I ordered this initially from Amazon resale, listed as 'Like new', to save about $4. That was a mistake as I returned it due to wrong description and being quite damaged with a non-usable badly bent clamp, and who knows if there would have been issues with the hose itself. I have a 1/4 hp 'Superior pump' (Model 91250) with a 1.25" discharge outlet that includes a 3/4" adapter to connect to a regular garden hose. Most garden hoses available for consumer retail purchase are either 3/4" or 5/8" diameter. Needless to say, the flow limiting step will be the smallest diameter component, being the hose. To get full use of the 1 1/4", you need a hose of 1.25", or larger, though a larger diameter hose is still going to limit the flow due to the 1.25" discharge outlet. Hook up is easy and intuitive. The 1.5" diameter hose, 25' in length is adequate for my use, namely, to drain a swimming pool and spa as needed. It is significantly faster than using a common 3/4" garden hose, saving several hours. The hose itself is well made with decent thickness material. It is easy to unfold and roll back up and no leak seen during first use. The only reason to knock one star (5 to 4) is the fact you have to watch and correct/reposition how the hose lays to avoid the invariable kink that will happen with angulations short of the ideal straight 180 degrees course (Whenever you change the course of the hose from vertical to horizontal). In that sense, a good stiff garden hose is better. I suppose there are more rigid reinforced hard plastic tubes, PVC pipes and elbows that could be devised (Visit your local Home Depot or Lowe's), if you want to aim for perfection. Overall, accepting some compromise, it is a good purchase and would recommend and buy again. My advice, however, is buy it new and avoid anything less than that from Amazon resale. Thank you.

Very effective at a reasonable price

Worked great. It will kink a bit when draped over something like a railing. It doesn't stop the flow, but does create a pressure pulsing that may affect GPM a bit but I sure didn't notice when draining my hot tub. I'm use I could make some type of curved metal feature to avoid the kinks but not worth the trouble. If you don't want that get the same size in a rigid hose and deal with the weight and storage space required. I don't know about leaks or anything like that. I plan to be careful when rolling out and rolling back up. If you are using this as part of an automatic sump setup and leave it laying out, I'm sure the sun and weather will cause deterioration. Again, just get a better hose. But for draining a hot tub twice a year, I see no problem with this item.

the discharge hose is very well made and pumps out water very fast I highly recommend

The base model trash pump is meant for pretty flat use, it won't lift water 4' high, and it will only work in shallow water if you manually lift the float to turn it on. I recommend getting a more powerful pump. The hose and connectors work well, however it tends to kink if bent, maybe I can make a spring to fit over it, when I want to make a turn in the tubing.

La manguera es de calidad y ocupa poco espacio para su almacenamiento

This hose really allowed for a lot more flow when draining the pool. Quality is good, it lays flat when empty so you can coil it back up for storage, Which is a lot better than dealing with a ridgid hose. Overall I recommend this if you'd like to speed up the draining ( or filling process)

Buena calidad del material, fácil instalación y cumple con el objetivo.

The hose is nice to have long so that the water can go to overflow sewer down the street.

Bought this hose along with a sump pump to empty our hot tub quicker. It does the job and attaches well to the sump pump. Not as long as I thought, just reaches our street out our gate but it goes back into a roll quickly and stores easily.
