FITT B-ACTIVE flexible hoses for in-ground pools – Italian ingenuity, global success

Flexible hoses for in-ground pools are not all the same. As we saw in the article Do you know how to choose a pool hose?, taking care in choosing in-ground pool hoses is a smart move that can prevent numerous problems.

The most common problem with in-ground pools is leaks in the hoses.
The main causes of ruptures are related to:

• wear over time
• external pressure from the weight of earth
• chemical agents that destroy the interior walls
• prolonged use of chlorine, which corrodes hoses from the inside
• low-quality materials

How can we solve these problems?
FITT – the Italian company specialized in producing flexible hoses for the consumer and professional market – has found the solution with FITT B-ACTIVE, the flexible hose for in-ground pools that is a strategic investment since it ensures significant savings by creating an efficient system that lasts over time. (For more information, see the article How to save on in-ground pool maintenance costs).

In fact, the features of the FITT B-ACTIVE flexible spiral hose ensure:

• the longevity of the hydraulic system
• quick, easy installation
• lower maintenance costs
• 60% greater resistance to mechanical stress
• innovative protection from internal chemical aggression
• safe, worry-free pool management

In addition, the certifications and patents (already granted or pending) for FITT B-ACTIVE make it a safe, reliable hose that offers qualitatively better performance than the average competitors.

The high level of resistance is ensured by:

• exclusive D-Shape (patent pending) and FITT B-ACTIVE (patented) technology, which protect the hose from mechanical stress
• a thin, internal protective film (patented) that withstands chemical aggression from chlorine and the acidic environment
• high-quality PVC, which offers high performance in terms of curvature and adhesion
