Pool hoses for Hayward vacuum?

[pmaru77]

My hoses are 10 years old and they are bordering on being trash. I've already replaced the lead hose and now another common hose piece tore apart in my hands. I guess it's UV damage or chem damage. Is it smart to just replace them all and not have to deal with it until 10 years from now? I gusee I'm concerned that if one breaks apart while away on a trip, that may not be a good thing. Or would it just suck water?

Since they float it would suck air as well and could ruin your pump.... Replace them all now and be done with it.
