Required hose for pool cleaner, but not the longest lasting hose. I've had the older version hoses that last almost twice as long. But you need this hose to use work with the pool cleaner.And cost is probably double compared to the standard older hose.
all the fitting were pulling air so had to put sealer on all the joints to stop the leaks, it was so bad it was affecting my Pool pump, if hadn't been that I really need the hose, I would have sent it back I put several coats of Flex seal on the fitting where it connects to the hose seem to have solved the problem, just don't feel I should have to do that on a new item
