Hoses in Permanent Curve

[lasvegas1976]

I just ordered new hoses because I noticed my Pentair Rebel was only staying on one side of the pool, the real deep end.

No issues with the rover itself, but after examining everything I noticed a lot of the hoses are in a permanent type of curve. They don't straighten out too good, even without any water in the hose. When I stretch a dry one out, it goes right back in the curved position.

I think the curve of the hoses, and the strength of the curves, is influencing the rover to stay on that side.

Any tips to avoid this issue in the future?

Lay the hose out on the deck in the sun for a while and straighten it once it gets hot.

One your pool water heats up it will help the hose stay straight.

Try as you may, that curve will never completely be removed, the hose is stretched on the outside of the curve from being coiled when the cleaner is removed from the pool, likely for storage or swimming.
Those hoses come apart so that they can be laid out straight when the cleaner is out of the pool. Or, lay the entire hose straight. It is especially important if the hose is in the Sun and gets heated.
All of the cleaner manufacturers used to make, and sell, a rack that would allow your hoses to be hung straight, but virtually no one bought them.
This happens to all cleaners, suction or pressure, when the hose is coiled for storage, even temporarily.
Here's a good explanation, the product seems to not be available anymore but one could probably be made rather easily, its worth it.
