Hand over hand? Not sure what that means. The hose is rigid and not soft so if you mean squeeze the hose to feel the blockage, I don't think that will work.

Thank you! I will check this out.

Hello. I was vacuuming my pool like how I always have for the past 10 yrs. However, today I noticed that there were a lot of leaves. Anyway, I believe that I clogged my hose with the leaves. Does anyone have a trick on how to unclog the hose? I tried using my water hose on both ends of the...

Hi guys! Thanks for the info. Very helpful. My cleaner pump broke during the TX winter freeze. I never knew that we should have drained the equipment. I spent some time reading the owner's manual. Someone stated that most equipment will have 2 drain plugs. I see that with my Pentair IntelliFlo...

Man, you are awesome! Thank you so much for taking time and answering my questions. Have a great wkend!

Thank you
