Superior Pump 99621 Lay-Flat Discharge Hose Kit, 1-1/2-Inch by 25-foot

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.

I connected this hose to a sump pump to get water out of my pool. This hose was perfect for it. I had no issues whatsoever.

Great pump lowers my pool in no time. Watch often lowered my water level faster than expected..lol

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.

I purchased this hose to attach to my pool cover pump. Due to the location of the outlet, the hose has to be laid across the pool deck. The regular garden hose is hard to move around and if you are not watching where you are going you will trip over it. The new flat hose is perfect for my application. When not draining water, it is flat to the ground, and you can easily just step on it. Because it has a larger diameter than the garden hose I was using, it drains quickly. I was very impressed and purchased a 2nd hose and now have pumps at each end of the pool. Highly recommend.

This hose is great, functional and easy to put awayI feel the quality is good

This hose is very strong and Durable. I highly recommend and easy to handle.

The hose seems to be of good quality. However, I bought a Superior sump pump and a Superior hose kit assuming they would be compatible. They are not. I am going to try to make it work with the clamp but I’m frustrated that they wouldn’t include fittings to make it easy to work.
