SPARE PARTS Matala » Pond Vacuum II Parts » Vacuum Drain Hose w/ Flapper

The Vacuum Drain Hose connects to the bottom of the Pond Vacuum body. We have two styles. Older versions simply push or compress into the drain outlet on body. Newer styles have a threaded connection which screws into the drain outlet on body. At the far end of the drain hose is a one way flapper valve. This flapper valve is very important to the proper function of the vacuum. Test the flapper valve with your finger. Make sure nothing is blocking the flapper. The flapper should have a good seal against the outlet hose. If the flapper is missing or stuck open the the vacuum will not have any suction power. If the flapper is stuck shut then the tank cannot drain out the dirty water on drain cycle. For proper drain out please position the end of drain out hose as far down hill as possible so water can drain by gravity out of the vacuum body during drain cycle.

The Vacuum Drain Hose is not covered under the Limited Warranty.
