Plastiflex

Plastiflex literally invented the modern pool hose. Founded in 1953, when Lewis Herrmann developed the first spiral-wound, all-plastic vacuum hose and set up manufacturing in Southern California — cleaning the backyard pools of Hollywood in the process — Plastiflex has grown into the world's largest manufacturer of flexible vacuum hoses. Today the company is a global hose-system specialist headquartered in Belgium, with manufacturing operations that include Statesville, North Carolina, serving pool equipment makers and pool owners worldwide. For your pool, that pedigree shows up in durable, kink-resistant hoses for suction cleaners, manual vacuums, filter connections, and spas. When you buy a Plastiflex hose, you're getting the product category's original innovator — a company that has spent over 70 years perfecting flexibility, durability, and smooth water flow.
