I have some extras of those barbs and the hose as well to bad your not closer.
It's cheaper at home depot.
Fyi they are under $2 bucks at home depot/ lowes.
Pvc cut dang simple to use. Put pipe in began and squeeze it. Get what ever is cheap if you go to home improvement store.
To glue any pvc glue. Easier to find a 1 step verse the ones that have primer and glue.
What ever is the best price. Picture just so you know what ur looking for.
Thats they type of hose your looking for.
Needs to be 3/4 ID (id = inner dimensions)
You cut hose to length needed heat small pot of boiling water soak endnof tub in it 10 seconds it gets soft and push it over the barbs. When it cools it's stiff again with water tight seal.
I suck at plumbing more than probably anyone in club. But this part is easy enough I have done it a few times.
How it was explained to me at one point.
Hose right above return pump is normally better than pvc because it better absorbs vibrations from the pump. Making the pump slient.
Again no expert. So don't ask me for anything more complex rofl. Than my inner plumbing idiot comes out to say hello quickly.
Lastly some of the home depots have hoses on reels they can cut for you by the foot would be cheaper if they have that near you.
I found hose cheaper on amazon but I know u dislike them so didn't share the link.
