What customers say
The Oreq '6' - 1.25" Swimflex Hose generally receives a positive reception, particularly concerning its initial performance and ease of use. Customers frequently praise its lightweight nature and superior flexibility compared to standard, rigid hoses, which significantly eases the pool vacuuming process. The 'Swimflex' designation appears accurate, as users report minimal kinking during operation, a major pain point with competing products. This flexibility also aids in storage, making it a convenient choice for residential users. However, sentiment is tempered by recurring concerns regarding long-term durability. A notable segment of users reports that the hose, while highly flexible, tends to develop small cracks or splits after one or two seasons of heavy use, particularly where the hose meets the cuffs or where it rubs against the pool coping. Furthermore, while the cuffs are generally functional, a few reports indicate minor issues with achieving a completely airtight seal with certain standard skimmer plates or vacuum heads, leading to slight suction loss. Despite these durability caveats, the consensus is that the hose offers excellent performance for its price point, making it a strong contender for seasonal pool owners who prioritize flexibility and ease of storage over multi-year, heavy-duty resilience. The overall feeling is one of satisfaction, provided expectations regarding lifespan are realistic for a flexible, non-commercial grade product.
