The leader is the section attached directly to the cleaner, and it takes more abuse than the rest of the run because it flexes constantly as the cleaner works. It is usually the first section to go stiff, split or lose its shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat a tired leader hose does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce the leader takes a permanent set, the cleaner starts pulling against its own hose instead of tracking freely, which shows up as a machine that favors one end of the pool or stalls in corners. Replacing the leader alone often restores normal behavior without touching the rest of the hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hose is carried under several references, PS484 and PA01065-HSCS4 as well as the Poolstyle number. Match the 48 in. length and the fitting on your cleaner rather than the number on the packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plastiflex Company Inc West","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633785614548,"sku":"PSL-201-7011","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_2ecf5a81-4b46-4895-9f94-6d99587abf85.jpg?v=1788816405","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/generic-pool-cleaner-leader-hose-light-grey","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
