as long s you like however the longer they are the more water turnover you lose as a result of the friction in the hose or pipe, If you need to move water over a long distance make the diameter of the pipe as large as possible.
Types of suction items are suction cups, suction hooks, and suction hoses.
In a typical HVAC system, the manifold hoses that connect to the suction line are usually the larger diameter hoses, often colored blue. These hoses are designed to carry low-pressure refrigerant vapor from the evaporator back to the compressor. It's essential to connect the correct hose to avoid damage to the system and ensure proper operation. The smaller, red hose typically connects to the discharge line.
The three main types of hydraulic hoses are high-pressure hoses, suction hoses, and return hoses. High-pressure hoses are designed to withstand intense pressure and are used to transmit hydraulic fluid from pumps to actuators. Suction hoses are utilized to draw hydraulic fluid from reservoirs, while return hoses carry the fluid back to the reservoir after it has circulated through the system. Each type has specific construction and material properties to ensure safety and efficiency in hydraulic applications.
I assume you are referring to a vacuum line. As there are more than one vacuum hoses, impossible to answer your question.
one of your hoses is losing presure or suction. put your hand next to all of your hoses and feel for even the slightest bit of air while the engine is running.
Usually, because of the nature of the way above ground pools are assembled or attached to the equipment - small hoses - - the distance has to be fairly close to the side wall of the pool. The longer the hose the more flow loss you have. That is because the inside of the hose is the same as the outside of the hose --- sort of an expanded corrugation -- much friction involved.
A discharge hose is a flexible tube designed to transport liquids or slurries from one location to another, typically used in pumping applications. It is commonly employed in industrial, agricultural, and municipal settings to move water, chemicals, or other fluids. Discharge hoses are constructed from durable materials to withstand pressure and environmental conditions, and they often come in various diameters and lengths to suit specific needs. Proper selection and maintenance of discharge hoses are essential to ensure efficient and safe fluid transfer.
Its located on the suction side hose coming off the back of the a/c compressor manifold assembly, the larger of the two hoses..

Under the battery tray, and under the hoses. Main reason it fails, leaky hoses above the switch.
Siphon it out. You can create a siphon by either sucking really hard on one end of the garden hose while the other end is under water, or the easier way, with 2 garden hoses as follows: -Get 2 garden hoses. Hook one to the spigot, put it in the pool and turn it on. set the other hose up with one end in the pool, and the other wherever you want to drain the water to. -Hold the ends of the 2 hoses that are in the pool, together with your hands, so the spigot water runs through the 2nd hose. Pull them apart, and you will feel the suction pulling the water out of your pool through the empty hose. -Take the hose that is connected to the spigot, out of your pool, and turn the spigot off. -Make sure the other garden hose does not fall out of the pool, or you will lose suction and have to start all over again! -When you get towards the bottom, you will have to physically hold the hose and move it around to get the water out without losing suction. You have to have the end of the hose that the water is running out of below the level of the bottom of the pool. You can do it with on.y one hose. Put one end of the hose in the pool and connect the other end to the faucet and turn it on until the air is forced from the hose. If the faucet is below the pool just disconnect the hose and lay it on the ground. You can move it around as long as the end of the hos estays below the top of the water. If the faucet is above the water level have someone put thier finger over the end of the hose in the pool while you move the end of the hose to a spot below the bottomof the pool.
If you are only changing the compressor, add 3 ounces into the suction port of the compressor before you attach hoses. After hoses are attached rotate the compressor by hand clockwise several turns to distribute the oil.
