I currently have my filter 15 ft away from my pool. I used the basic hoses to connect the filter to the pool last year. I noticed from moving the hoses, i caused some leaks. I wanted to switch to a better hose. Will Tiger flex solve this problem? What would I need to buy in order to install it? Also is this an easy install? I got quoted about 400 bucks for a pool store to do it. i think this is very very high.

Sounds high to me . . . but I haven't seen the pool or the hose. There's some weird stuff out there, that's hard to match up, and I don't know what you have. If you want someone to take an intelligent look at it, send pictures of the pool, the connections, the pump and the filter, and the existing hoses to poolforum@gmail.com, and I'll post them.

Of course, if you don't want to do pictures, there is an alternative: send exact info about your piping and fitting OD, ID, construction material and construction type.

But, even I don't know the technical designations for all the different pipe and tubing sizes used by above ground pool makers . . . so I couldn't do it!
