what kind of hose should i use for this pump?

I installed the standard water hose fitting pictured in white and purchased a short water hose at home depot that is made to connect a hose reel to a faucet.

A regular garden hose. Sometimes the plastic parts break and I have to order replacement parts (just a few dollars). The motor lasts years.

I use a 3/8" I.D. poly tubing and the hose barb fitting supplied with the pump. I've used this setup for pumping water off my pool cover and for pumping the water in and out of my 50 gal fish tanks.

Sorry, I can't help you with that one, but I'd be inclined to say it's time to attach the regular dump hose and save your pump!!!

I purchased an adapter from TCP Global (Airbrush depot). I used their hose which came with the pump and the adapter part number ABD A-Paasche or you can get the whole set of adapters (4) ABD A-ALL. Suggest you buy more than one.

Standard air hose quick connect works. Any compressor supply company carries it. Home Depot even has the quick connect fitting for it.

This hose will probably fit if you remove the fitting from the bottom of the hose and use the fitting from your old hose. If your old hose has no fitting and just clamped on to the pump then you can use a zip tie or a new hose clamp that you buy from an auto parts store.

Any pool hoses that I needed I purchase it on Amazon. There are suppliers out there that carry Intex products.

I use a 1/4 inch hose with no issues. I have only used it for small projects but recovery is very fast so I would predict no issues with either.

Any pump should work... but let me just say mine ended up coming apart after the first season of use

I would guess the flow rate of this pump would be too high. I use 3/8" hose and it is almost as strong as an streaming garden hose.

It depends on your pump. My vacuum pump has a quarter inch flare fitting and so I was able to hook the red hose (high pressure hose) directly to the vacuum pump. I did end up buying a 1/4" Female Flare X 1/2" Acme Male so I could use the middle hose. It cost about $4.

Take your hose to Lowes or Home Depot to make sure what you have is compatible. Don't get stuck with a hose that won't work.

Please note that the pump is really just to start the siphon. This will probably only work if it is downhill all the way to the sewer. We use it for a rain barrel so we never looked into longer hoses.

any length of hose will work just fine just make sure the end is in the tunnel 3 or 4"

Solid maybe? The outflow hose is smaller in diameter than a garden hose and it doesn't have a threaded fitting like a garden hose. That said, I think you could probably find something at your hardware store to rig up greater hose length if you need it. Maybe the same size hose and a double-sided coupler to connect the two? Maybe a slightly bigger diameter hose that you can fit over the one on the pump and then clamp? Good luck.

I mostly use the power hose as I find the stretch hose to be a struggle...wish I could find a power hose less than the standard 30 foot hose...a happy medium would be nice

Doesen't matter. You just need the correct fitting for the ends of the hose.

Any medium hose should work with this, it doesn't have to be from the same producer.
