what kind of hose do you use for direct drainage into a sump pump?

its an odd size, not a garden hose. I found hose close enough and put a clamp on it to hold it in place. works fine, better than trying to empty the bucket.

i used the cut off end of the hose or can get 12mm clear plastic hose at hardware

You don't put a hose on the threaded end that goes through the hull to pick up water. The barbed outlet is for the hose, size is 3/4". You can get bilge pump hose at amazon. If you are using this for a bait well pump you will need to make a spray pipe to aerate the water, 1/2" pvc pipe works good for this. Drill some 1/8 to 3/16 holes along the length for the pipe about 1" apart and cap one end, length of pipe depends on the size of tank or bucket. Hope this helps you out.

I am using two for sump pumps. Be sure to use a check valve if you're lifting the water very much or it will back flow when it turns off causing it to keep cycling.

Any hose will fit. The 1/2 inch is the drive anvil. This thing is worth every penny. Im using 1/4 line and 3/8 also.

The discharge plumbing connection requires a 1-1/4" or 1-1/2" ABS or PVC pipe. The pipe length depends on the depth of the sump pit.

I used a regular 3in. rv sewer hose, from wal mart, camper world etc. although some Hardware store do have a 33 high pressure hose but they are hard to find

The Summer Escapes Pro pool I had used a regular/standard garden hose. You may have to play with it a little, but it should be a standard hose size.

You'll need at least 25 ft of 3/4" pex or cooper line and even more to bring it down to sump. I suggest you use shark bites connections. You'll also need 1.5" PVC for the exiting water and a y connection to connect back into original PVC pipe. Oh and don't forget PVC cement and primer. Good luck

For portable use I'd use a less dedicated type pump like this. Perhaps a pool evacuation pump or something. This unit is in my dedicated sump for runoff, is cast iron, and is overkill for what you're looking for.

I used a length of garden hose that threaded on to the unit. It is about 15 feet to the sump drain. Works perfectly.

Sewage sump pumps typically use 2" pipe and need the 2" check valve. Stormwater sump pumps extracting water from around the foundation of a home typically use 1.5" PVC pipe and need the 1.5" Campbell check valve. You can install this either by cementing the two couplings this valve comes with to your PVC pipes using PVC cement (and then screwing in the Campbell check valve to the coupling, or screwing out by hand to remove it), or by buying two rubber sleeves with screw clamps labeled at my local Ace Hardware store 'Socket to Pipe Coupling--1.5" Plastic Socket to 1.5" Plastic Pipe'. With optional rubber sleeves, you don't need to mess with PVC cement. Note, however, that standard 1.5" rubber sleeves will fit your 1.5" PVC pipe but NOT fit your 1.5" Campbell check valve (they're a little too small on the Campbell coupling end). Again you need the ones that are labeled to go between 1.5" Plastic Socket and 1.5" Plastic Pipe.

The hose is too long for us and therefore the pump runs instead of using gravity. If we cut the hose so it runs directly into the drain, will it keep the pump from running? Has anyone tried this??

You will need a drain hose. There are universal drain hoses and specific brand and/or models drain hoses you can search for. They also come in difference lengths.

I believe that there are better alternatives for your particular application. This is a great pump for a permanent sump based installation, but it is heavy, does not operate until the water level is 4" deep, and is rather large. There are portable pumps that are made specifically for your requirements. I would consider the Wayne VIP50 (available at amazon) as a better alternative.

Standard garden hose. You can purchase at your local hardware store or a Walmart location.

drill a hole in the front of the chamber, undersize the hole (slightly)for the size of hose you are going to use. They sell clear silicone hoses by the foot at Lowes. I think 3/16" ID would be appropriate for this size unit, anything smaller and the surface tension of the draining water might block the flow. Gravity will pull your water to a different bucket or sink drain. That being said, if you run your 2200 24/7, you'll probably burn out the power supply at some point.

We used the existing hoses for the inlet/outlet on the intex pump/filter. We had to replace the hoses last year because of UV breakdown but good 'ol Wallyworld carried replacement hoses.
