Hayward VLX4006A Pump to Filter Hose

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward VLX4006A is a pump to filter hose used on compatible Hayward pool equipment setups. It connects the pump discharge to the filter inlet where flexible hose connections are used instead of hard plumbing. This hose is part of the main circulation path on the equipment pad.

Why This Part Matters
A worn or cracked hose can leak water and pull air, which reduces flow and makes the system messy and unreliable. Small leaks on the pressure side can also worsen quickly once the pump ramps up. Replacing the hose restores a tight connection and helps keep filtration consistent. This is especially important after winter damage or when hoses become brittle with age.
