Great instructions, now where do I get the replacement hose. I can’t seem to find one anywhere, please tell be where to look

Suzannne Scheans - Dec 30, 2017

Rob the hose from the hard floor attachment, you probably do not use it as at low speed the brush head is awesome on hard floors.

I found a hose that is a perfect fit. EVERBILT 6 ft Bilge and Pump Discharge Hose. 1-1/8 inch ID. Got it at Home Depot.

How did you get the hose from Home Depot to work? I’d like to try it, and I was hoping you would give some advice.

Thank you so much for this recommendation! The Everbilt Bilge and Pump hose works perfectly!!! And now I have back up if I need to replace it again.

Thank you for the instructions as well Shelby! So much better than spending another $50 on a replacement head!
