If this question should be on a different group, please let me know; I

We have a Hayward Pool-Vac Ultra that is powered through about 35 feet
of 1 1/2 inch (sections) hose. The hose is frequently twisted into
loops that keep the vacuum from cleaning all of the pool. We have
replaced the gear-box, but that didn't help. What we think would help
is some kind of a swivel joint that could be placed between sections
of the hose, but we have not been able to find any such coupling. Do
any of you know of something like this, or do any of you have any
other suggestions on what we can do to eliminate this hose looping?

(Australian-made) Kreepy Kraulelr successfully avoids this by a
weight about three sections distant from the cleaning head.

Take the hose sections apart, allow them to lay in the sun awhile This
will take some "memory" out of the hose. Yes, you can buy a 'swivel"
connector (Leslie's). Attach that on the pool-vac, then the hose to
that. This allows free movement and non-curling of the hose.

Another thing is to adjust the Jandy valve, and reduce the suction on
the hose from the pump.

Not a real big problem. It may be time for some new hose sections.

When it comes time to replace the vacuum get one that is self contained
like the Dolphin.

pool and spa forum is a good place for these questions. Have you called
Hayward tech support? Have a Polaris here which of course is driven by
pressure from the returns, not suction, but uses a similar length hose
though it's maybe 5/8". That hose does have swivels in it. Even that
some times gets
tangled up, but usually works well. I can see where a 35 ft hose that;s
1.5" with no swivels would be a problem.

Something's not right. I've had mine for about six or seven years, and
never had that problem. Take it to another shop.

I had same twisting hose problem. I took Pool Vac to dealer who replaced a
bearing and made sure everything was ok. Still had problem. Hang test even
failed. I replaced old hose and everything worked. Twist was gone. I don't
know if this will fix everyone's problem but it worked for me. Worth a try. I
noticed none of the replies tried hose replacement.
