Any ideas on hoses?

[Sophrita]

I discovered a crack in the 1 1/4” outlet hose. It was letting air into the line so I had to turn off the pump.

Our local stores are out of this, and to order online is at least 2 days. I’m at the end of a SLAM so I hate to have my pump off so long.

Any ideas on where I can get a hose that will work? Or even to plug half of the t-valve?

Never a good time for a leak. What about placing an Intex plug at the suction port from inside? If you don't have these "hat" plugs, perhaps something else at home will work?

You can attempt some gorilla tape until you get the hose in.
Order 2 - so you’ll have a spare! It’s only a matter of time with those hoses.
Even if you can plug off that 1/2 of the valve you’ll need to plug the return as well or the water will still drain from the pool.
Perhaps you can find some of these - they come in various sizes. You’ll need one for the return & one for the tee. They’re pretty commonly available at hardware stores & pool stores.

I do have the intex plug and have plugged the pool. But I couldn’t get them to fit in the valve. While I’m searching for hoses today I’ll look for the other size plugs

Thank you!

You can try Gorilla waterproof tape and give it a good wrap at least 6 inches part the tear on either side.
