Smooth Flex Vac Hose 1-1/2" x 35' with Swivel Cuff – VH2235 | Durable Pool Vacuum Hose
The Reliable, Professional-Grade Hose for Efficient Pool Cleaning
A clean pool isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about health, safety, and extending the life of your pool equipment. The Smooth Flex Vac Hose 1-1/2" x 35' with Swivel Cuff (VH2235) is made for strong suction. It is very flexible and built to last. This makes it a top choice for both homeowners and pool service professionals.
This 35-foot vacuum hose is made with crush-proof materials, a tangle-free swivel cuff, and UV protection. It is perfect for residential in-ground and above-ground pools. It also works well for smaller commercial pools where easy movement and good performance are important.
Why This Hose Stands Out
Not all vacuum hoses are created equal. Cheaper, low-quality hoses can kink, crack, or lose suction after just one season. This leads to wasted time, less cleaning power, and higher costs over time.
The VH2235 Smooth Flex Hose solves those problems by combining:
-
Durability – Built to last season after season.
-
Flexibility – Easily maneuvers around corners and obstacles.
-
Performance – Maintains full suction without air leaks.
-
Tangle-Free Operation – Swivel cuff prevents annoying twists and tangles.
This is not just a replacement hose—it’s an upgrade for your pool cleaning routine.
Key Benefits & Features
1. Perfect 35-Foot Length
Designed for medium-to-large pools, the 35-foot length provides ample reach without becoming cumbersome. It’s long enough to cover the entire pool floor and walls without dragging extra hose that can tangle.
2. Industry-Standard 1-1/2" Diameter
The 1.5-inch diameter provides great water flow. This lets debris pass through easily and keeps suction strong from start to finish.
3. Swivel Cuff for Tangle-Free Cleaning
The integrated swivel cuff rotates freely, preventing twists and kinks during cleaning. This ensures smooth, consistent movement of your vacuum head and eliminates frustrating tangles.
4. Crush-Proof & Heavy-Duty Construction
Made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), this hose can withstand being stepped on or coiled tightly without losing shape. It’s built to handle daily use by pool professionals and frequent cleaning by homeowners.
5. UV & Chemical Resistant
Long-term sun and chemical exposure can cause cheaper hoses to become brittle, crack, or discolor. The VH2235 is specifically engineered to resist chlorine, saltwater, and UV degradation, extending its usable life.
6. Smooth Interior for Optimal Flow
The smooth bore design lowers friction. This helps debris flow easily and stops clogging. It is essential for effective pool cleaning.
7. Universal Compatibility
Fits most standard vacuum heads, skimmer connections, and suction-side pool cleaners. Whether you use a manual vacuum head or an automatic cleaner, this hose will connect seamlessly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Will the 35-foot hose be long enough for my pool?
For most medium-to-large residential pools, 35 feet is sufficient. Measure from your skimmer port to the farthest point in your pool to confirm.
Q2: Can I shorten this hose?
Yes, it can be cut to length, but keep in mind it cannot be re-extended once trimmed.
Q3: Does the swivel cuff really help with tangling?
Absolutely. The cuff’s rotation keeps the hose from twisting as you move the vacuum head, significantly reducing tangles.
Q4: Will it fit my existing vacuum head?
Yes, as long as your head uses a 1.5-inch connection, which is standard for most residential and commercial setups.
Q5: Is this hose buoyant or weighted?
It is designed to stay submerged for optimal suction performance.
