Pool Vacuum Hose

This is a pool vacuum hose. Many of you probably wouldn't recognize it if you saw it but thats what it is. I work as a Pool Technician during the summer and have for the past 3 years. I work with one of my best friends ad we always complain about these hoses. They are stiff and tangle up and collapse. They are incredibly hard to work with. You have to twist them until they are perfectly straight otherwise the make your life difficult. My friend and I have not yet come up with the solution or a new alternative to the vac hose, but we are working on it haha.
