It swings, twists and flexes constantly while the rest of the feed hose run stays comparatively still, so it is the section that stiffens, kinks or splits first. Replacing it on its own is far cheaper than replacing a whole hose set, and it usually solves the problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFloats are part of the job\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe floats supplied on this hose hold it up in the water column instead of letting it lie on the floor. That matters more than it sounds. A hose dragging along the bottom picks up drag, upsets the cleaner path and gives you a machine that parks in one corner while the far end of the pool never gets touched. A fresh leader hose with its floats in place puts the cleaner back on its proper pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zodiac","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634422329556,"sku":"POL-201-3408","price":71.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_74c0fc8b-c9c8-4d2c-8253-9a0c5e97ea7c.jpg?v=1788830305","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/leader-hose-with-floats-black","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
