I'm looking for some temporary filter hose to get 20' from the pool while I construct a deck. I can connect two 12' hoses but then I got to thinking (and couldn't find the answer) why can't I just use vacuum hose? What's the difference between filter hose and vacuum hose?
vacuum hose vs filter hose?

Is there some reason you can't rig up a couple lengths of pipe and a few of these fittings?

i suppose not. is the ease of using PVC the reason sections of filter hose aren't longer than 12'?

interesting...I'm a total newbie...wouldn't the vacuum hose need to withstand the same pressure as the filter hoses since the same pump is powering both?

Vac hose just needs to not to collapse under vacuum, to make it worth pressure is a waste of materials or spec that could be increasing profit margins.
Just think of a discharge hose, like a flat roll up fire hose one, under vacuum.
