Can you attach a longer hose?

You can, but if you have any heavy particulates it will cause problems unless it goes smoothly downhill.
1860302
Yes you can. The suction is not affected by a longer hose, the longer hose will let you route the run off further away from the pumped area.

As a user who lost the hose (it blew off and sank before I could retrieve it) I would advise either holding the hose when pumping or tape it to the pump. As long as you can find the right diameter hose I don't see any reason why the hose can't be as long as you want. The pump has a strong projectile.

I just checked on mine and the outflow hose doesn't easily pull out (don't want to pull too hard as it already leaks). It might be possible to attach an extension to the hose it comes with or to attach a hose of your choice instead of the one it comes with - but it doesn't seem to be designed to switch hose.

Yes, it comes off like a vacumn cleaner hose. Home Depot and Lowes sell longer hoses.

Yes, we have a very long hose (150' I think) in this holder. Attractive, too!Bobbie

I haven't used the accessory hose for that purpose yet. Sorry, I cannot help you.

It is kind of a short hose... (reaches my dogs head, but not much farther). Unfortunately, I don't see any way of extending it because the couplers are one of a kind (plastic part to metal part which screws onto a regular faucet).

For longer reach, I would replace (not extend) the original hose with one of larger diameter. Larger diameter at the same flow rate will have lower frictional loss, with a lower loss of pressure.

I don't see how you could. There aren't any rivets to screw a hose end to it. The newer filters seem to go on and off a bit easier then the older ones though.

That would be a big Negative, why don't you just get a longer expandable hose

Feliciah04, Hose is about 5 feet long, and yes a longer one could be used; just be sure you use one that is designed for LP gas usage, with the proper hose and fittings, not just any hose. Hoses could be available at a camping store or a propane dealer. Hope this helps, Jim.

Hi and thank you for your question. Yes, the expandable hose can be attached to an existing hose. If your existing hose has push in connectors you will need to get a push in adapter that has a threaded female end to be able to join the two hoses.

I don't know. I haven't come across any situation where I need a longer hose. The hose it comes with is long enough for all of my uses. Its a great product. Its easy to use and its very powerful.

Yes other hoses can be attached, it is just like any other standard hose but heavy duty including the fittings. Great hose.

Very short. You can buy an extension hose, at any super-hardware store, that will meet your needs. JK

I don't think you will need to. It takes up a tiny amount of space compared to a traditional hose. It defeats the purpose of buying the thin hose.

Not long enough. It only extends about 3' above the top of the handle. I did not buy the extension, because I am not sure if it is an attachment that you can leave on all the time. I like the vac, but was disappointed with the reach of the extension hose. It is ok for lower work, but not for high work.

There's nothing to permanently attach a hose to. Best you can do IMO is rig something.

Should be able to do so, since they have the standard hose threads. You might want to contact Dramm and ask to be sure. www.dramm.com

The hose is 10ft and we don't believe you could add a longer one. We were so impressed with this item we bought two one for ourwinters in Florida and one for home. We also recommended it to 4 other couples who bought one.
