Issue with Hayward Hose?

I bought a new Hayward Pool Vac XL. And adjusted everything it told me too. Called Hayward for help, Etc. Still had the same problem. It would run but then get stuck on the low corner of a wall or just float and not go down at all after about an hour or so. Returned the pump and put my old barracuda g2 back with the old hose and everything was back to normal.

Had a hole in a couple of the hose sections of the old hose so the total length was a bit short. Saw a used hayward hose for sale in my area. Bought and tried it out with the barracuda g2. It kind of had the same issue as the Hayward Pool VAC XL. It would just stop pumping and moving or get stuck in the corner when it never did that before.

Am I having an issue with my pump or the hose? Or both?

Thanks
