Cheap Shop Vac Hose Alternative - Pool Vacuum Hoses 

Nice.. I have one in my shopping cart. Much appreciated the share!

Better than home depot hose .good idea .thks 👍

Hey Tundra, Tools, and Tech, thanks for taking the time and effort to produce this video tutorial on the use of a pool vacuum hose in a shop vac situation. After seeing your tutorial, I think I'll try it myself.

Thank you this video helped me purchase one and I use it on my central vacuum homemade with a little bit more airflow in section then your shop vac but still does an amazing job

I am using exactly the same hose. We used to have an above ground pool. When we sold it I kept this hose as one of the ends was broken. I had intended on using it for snorkels on my ATV but never did. I made a 5 gallon bucket dust seperator. Put the shop vac in my shop attic and used this hose to connect the two and a couple of pieces for my table saw and miter saw. It works great.

Great idea thanks!

Thx amigo . I’m thankful for your video .

My boss bought some thinking the same. I hooked 10 feet up and stood on one foot to step on the vacuum switch and instantly became freaked out and had to gain my balance before I could make the same move to turn it off. It screamed so loud with harmonics that it could make it a pain to burglars inside when tripping the alarm. The rough insides make for poor airflow as well. Do you remember the whirling noisemaker toy? I took 20 feet of this lightweight hose outside to a street party, cleared the street from curb to curb and began whirling it over my head. A UFO came down and hovered over us, or so it seemed. I will pass on this for hose.

I have been using this hose in my shop for 3yrs. No problems. Thanks for sharing.

great idea

Nice video. The problem is the company has doubled the price of the hose in the year and a half since you posted the video. OUCH! So it's not as good of a deal as it use to be. But thanks for your post. 👍

not only a great idea, but I have an extra one in my cabana!

Thamks !! Great idea !! EVERYTHING has gone up and will continue, so for the nay sayers, try to find it cheaper and share with us.

Great idea!!

Good idea man. I like your setup. I started using a pool hose a little over a year ago. It’s long enough that my shop vac is outside and I run the hose inside through a hole and coil it on a hook on the wall. Keep up the good work.

Great tip! Thanks 😊😊😊👍👍👍

Im just needing a 3d printer! Good idea on the pool hose!

2:10 seems like there’s a bit too much flex in the garage floor! Thanks for the info :)

I use these for my homemade central vacuum

I used an oreq stinger poolhose for my central vac hose replacement and have not regretted it since

That Bosch hose is great for connecting to hand tools. It's worth the $40.

should I be able to use a standard pool vac hose with out an adapter?

thanks, my wife works at a pool company too. Maybe she'll give me a senior and family discount .LOL

I bought that bosch hose because the end fit my old first year festool track saw

Today ordered the same for my CNC router vacuum..😂

I have been using pool vac hoses this way for a while. The original large diameter hose always shortened itself under vacuum, like an accordion. This was so severe it would tip over the vacuum.. The pool vac hose has no accordion effect.

I just came across your video and it seems to be the answer I've been looking for. Are you still happy with this "pool" hose? I may try connecting it to my central vacuum system as I see others have had success with them. Thanks, Larry

Can't those dust separators be used with a central vacuum or would the central vacuum be to powerful a lift the saw dust, etc..back up and into the vacuum?

any chance you would share both 3d printed adapters? I have the same track saw. would be appreciated.

And it's made in the USA!!!!!!

What type of filament did you use to print the fitting?

How would you go about getting rid of the high picth that it can create when you turn the vacuum on?

4 years later how is the hose holding up?

Yea it's 46.99 for hose on Amazon but thanks

thanks for the info. it sucks that when we try to attach a hose that’s supposed to be a standard size in this country it seems to never fit and we always need an adapter. how many times do they say 2 1/4”, or 4” or 6” and when you connect them the need for. just stupid. anyway, i might be putting my shop vac in my shed that’s approximately 10 feee from my house and that pool hose will come in handy to reach a lot of tools. having a shop vac in a shed so you can’t head it is something we should all do. thanks for your video.

How's the hose holding up?

How to eliminate whistling noise ??

This hose looks typical of the type used by professional carpet cleaners

mine has high pitch noise. sad

You had me until you said you printed the 3D part. Most people don't have one.

Lol, this hose really sucks, that's funny

It’s $1.19 per foot now. Thanx Biden-nomics !!!
