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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy This Part Matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features and Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eManufacturer part number: VLX4006A\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePump to filter connection hose\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUsed on compatible Hayward equipment pad setups\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConnects pump discharge to filter inlet in hose based plumbing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReplacement part for leaking or deteriorated hoses\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation and Fitment Guidance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Turn off the pump and relieve filter pressure before removing any hoses.
