Central Vacuum Zippered Hose Sock Cover Q&A

Hello, the shortest hose sock is for a 30 foot hose and is actually about 28ft long. Doubt you'd like it bunching up on you. The other style hose sock would work though, but it doesn't come off to wash and is not as protective.

Hello. This hose sock will work as best as it can for your longer hose. We recommend that you leave the uncovered part of the hose at the wall end because that is that part of the hose that moves the least.

True, they don't make them that size. A 35ft sock would still help though!

Great question Jean! The blue does not leak or come off or rub off the hose sock, guaranteed.

Hello, we ship directly to Canada. The product is in stock and ready to ship today.

Unfortunately, hose covers are not avaible for stretch hoses.

This hose sock style fits hoses up to 1-3/4" diameter. Usually 1-3/8" refers to the interior diameter meaning the out diameter will be larger like yours.

It doesn't cover the entire hose because it needs a place to tie on to. Also, and more importantly, the hose handle of the hose is harder to handle if the cover goes all the way up to the handle. The cover is slick and a little bulky to hold, so when vacuuming and holding the hose in the other hand it is much easier to just hold the hose without the cover.

The material is very slick, much like a sleeping bag. Of all the covers this one works the best and picks up or drags the least.

Hi Tim, this sock is perfect for hiding an electric cord along a non-electric hose. We used to do that all the time before electric hoses were popular.

It will add 1 1/2 lbs of weight and less than 1/8" of bulk to your hose.

Yes, the 35 foot sock will fit your 32 foot hose well.

If it is a new hose let it relax by leaving stretched out for a day. Then be sure to only make 4 or 5 loops when storing it, and store it on a hose hanger mounted on the wall. Another thing is if you have a basic hose it doesn't unwind because, unlike the low voltage and electric hoses, it doesn't have the 360-degree swivel at the hose handle. So may want to upgrade the hose. The hose sock doesn't prevent twisting or kinking. It just protects your home and makes the hose easier to slide along.

Wash the zippered cover on gentle cycle and dry with low heat in the dryer. Thank you for asking.

Hi Marcie, yes, the protected, high-quality, zipper runs the entire length of the hose sock. The sock stops short on both ends of the hose on purpose but works very well and is really easy to take on and off.

Hi, we sell that type too and it comes with a strong cardboard tube about 2-1/2 feet long. The sock is put on the tube, the hose is feed through the tube and the sock is let down onto the hose as the hose is pulled through. There is really no other way to put it on.

We have blue for a couple reasons. First, we can buy in bulk and pass the savings to you. Second, our informal tests showed the blue color was preferred. Other colors looked too muddy or too much like the carpet making it harder to see and deal with when vacuuming.

Our Zippered Padded Hose cover is made by the same company as the Canada version called Pad-A-Vac.

The very smooth padded zippered hose sock is exactly for this. Read the reviews if there is any doubt. We have a 30-day money back guarantee if you are not convinced.

The zipper is a very high quality one and works very well. It doesn't get snaged, stuck, or caught on the material. As the zipper closes, two stiffer peices of cloth material fold down on the zipper so it is well protected.

The zippered hose sock can be removed by unzipping and sliding off. To replace it onto a new hose, just lay out the hose next to the sock and zipper it closed.

Tie it extremely tight about 1 or 1.5 feet from the ends. We find that customers want it to stretch farther than it is intended to.

Hi Marcie, there are only a couple of feet of exposed hose on both ends. The sock relaxes after installation and stays in a comfortable, effective place on the hose. The entire center of the hose is covered, protecting it and your home as it is slithered around from room to room. The ends of the hose are not the culprits for wear and tear. If you want to get the longer cover for the 30ft hose that would be fine. If it is too long just twist the sock a couple of times and it will shrink down.

Apply the hose sock over the wall-end of the hose, not the handle. It will go right on without having to disassemble the hose.

Yes, the material is washable and is made of the same material as a typical sleeping bag. What is meant by twisting is like putting on your socks, pulling them up and then turning the top around the leg. No one would do that but it would make the sock move down the leg a bit. We are not talking about a lot twists, in fact at our home the sock itself has rotated around the hose several times by itself. The zipper is not running along one side of the hose but stays twirled like a barber shop red and white pole. The sock does a great job and we'll always have one on the hose.
