Hose popping off

Well, judging from all teh pools around our town (and I believe we have close to a 100% pool vs house ratio), tigerflex with barbed connectors and clamps seems to be the most common installation proceedure, some have the lower cost hoses, more like your standard vacuum hose.
I replaced my clamps right away with a stronger clamp - looks the same, but a way higher quality that won't slip when tightening.
Standard hose clamps are really a waste of time and energy and can get people frustrated relatively quick, I chose to forego that aggravation by throwing the pool company supplied crap into the "spare repair parts bin".
Haven't had so much as a drip yet.

Thanks so much waste. I know you all are superb at all of this. I have a few posts that I started several months ago and it made my baby steps to this "new" pool situation seem like adult strides. In regards to the post previous to this, where does one get the "cadillac" clamps?

I have started the B...in baking soda, but am finishing up my trichlor smart sticks this year and hope to wean myself to the other B AND B. I use a mac though and cant get the bleach calc. It's only for PC>
Thanks all

i use a double clamp of this type on my tiger hose where i need it..no barbs and in 5 years, no slippage:)

not sure it's that brand, but exactly what it looks like with the worm gears..

Good question - I'm in Canada, and i cn tell you right now it won't be Home depot!
Try some of the smaller hardware stores, many times you cannot tell by looking at the clamp, just by testing one or two or bringing a regular one as a comparison
I have found that if you take a pool store clamp with you to compare, you may see subtle differences on the clamp like a slightly thicker band, a better crimp connection for the worm drive screw, little telltale signs like those are what you're looking for.
be prepared to hit a number of stores til you find good ones.
