It comes with the hose, enough for up to a 22' pool at least. It comes in sections with a rotating collars at each junction to keep it from tangling. You just use the number of segments you need for whatever size pool you have.
Planning on ordering one from amazon soon. Does it come with the hose also? If so how long is it? Ive got a 22' and want to make sure I have enough hose on hand
How is it with a ladder in the pool?
If there's a way for it to get stuck under the ladder, it will find it.
If thats the case it might be possible to build sides on to the ladder and bottom step with plexiglass to kind of box them in so it cant get behind/under and get stuck
Be careful building any kind of enclosure that would impede water flow, or you're just creating a welcome place for algae to grow.
Another option might be to shorten up the hose just enough that it can't reach the ladder. You'd be left with just a small area to vacuum manually.
I've got an Intex free-standing ladder that I just pull up to the side of the pool when I get out. But sometimes my kids forget and I'll find "Wally" wedged behind the ladder the next day.
Have any of you hooked it up to the actual return. I can't get the return to unscrew from the collar. I don't think there is a wrench big enough to even try and grab it. Any tips on how to spin it loose?
