What Is a Leader Hose?

The leader hose (also called the short hose or connector hose) is the section that connects directly from the skimmer box or weir to the start of the main hose run. It’s the first hose section in the system and is more prone to wear due to its position and constant movement. If your cleaner has reduced suction, is losing water flow, or you can see cracking or kinking near the skimmer, the leader hose is often the culprit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pool cleaner does this leader hose fit?
This blue leader hose (BS59611) is designed for the Pentair MakoShark pool cleaner.

What is the difference between a leader hose and a standard hose section?
The leader hose connects the skimmer/weir directly to the main hose run. It is typically shorter and positioned closer to the cleaner, making it more prone to wear than standard hose sections further along the run.

How do I know if my leader hose needs replacing?
Signs include reduced suction, visible cracking or kinking near the skimmer, air bubbles in the hose during operation, or a hose that feels brittle or stiff.

Is this a genuine Pentair part?
Yes — BS59611 is a genuine OEM Pentair replacement part, not an aftermarket substitute.
