Intex pool hose with a 38 mm inner diameter and 180 cm length is designed to provide reliable water circulation for seasonal and above-ground pool setups. Made of flexible PVC, the hose connects pumps, filters and skimmers on Intex-compatible systems that accept 38 mm hoses. Its straightforward design makes it suitable for replacement, extension or temporary rerouting of existing hose lines on pools and filtration equipment.
Advantages
The hose offers a balance of flexibility and dimensional stability that facilitates easy handling and installation. Its 38 mm diameter matches common Intex fittings used in many above-ground pool pumps and filters, allowing a secure fit and consistent water flow. The 180 cm length covers mid-range connection needs without excessive slack, and the PVC construction resists degradation during typical seasonal use.
Suitable for
- Connecting Intex-compatible pool pumps to filters or skimmers with 38 mm fittings
- Replacing worn or damaged sections of existing 38 mm pool hose
- Extending hose runs during temporary pool relocations or seasonal setups
- Basic above-ground pool water circulation systems that require flexible PVC hose
When it may not be suitable
This hose is intended for systems that accept a 38 mm (approximately 1.5 inch) inner diameter; it will not form a proper seal on pumps or fittings with different diameters. It is manufactured from flexible PVC for seasonal use and is not rated as a permanent buried or heavily UV-exposed solution—long-term outdoor exposure or continuous high-pressure industrial use may reduce its service life.
Key specifications
- Inner diameter: 38 mm (approx. 1.5 inch)
- Length: 180 cm
- Material: flexible PVC
- Typical application: pool water circulation and connection to pumps, filters or skimmers
- Compatibility: designed for Intex-style systems that accept 38 mm hoses
How to use
Measure the connection points on your pump, filter and skimmer to confirm they accept a 38 mm hose. Slide one hose end over the fitting until it seats securely and fasten with a suitable clamp if the system requires one. Route the hose to avoid tight bends or kinks and attach the other end to the corresponding fitting, again securing with a clamp if necessary. After installation, run the pump and inspect all connections for leaks and proper flow; tighten clamps as needed. For seasonal storage, drain the hose, allow it to dry, then coil loosely to avoid permanent kinks.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm your pump/filter/skimmer fittings are compatible with a 38 mm inner diameter hose
- Decide if the 180 cm length is sufficient or if multiple hoses and couplings will be needed
- Check whether hose clamps or additional adapters are required for your specific hardware
Usage recommendations
For reliable performance, use this Intex 38 mm hose in seasonal above-ground pool setups and avoid prolonged direct sunlight when not in use; secure both ends with clamps for leak-free connections and replace the hose if visible cracks or persistent leaks appear.
