55 Gal Build.........Pipes etc

[game411]

Hi guys, I know it's been years since I've been here but I am back, life cane change in a split second.............

I got a 55 Gal RR Tank and have been breaking it down to the bare wood and starting from scratch, I was curious, I don't want to use PVC pipes fot the drain and return from pump, what's so wrong with using Hoses? I can get automotive grade hoses from Autozone and they will be movable instead of rigid like pvc pipes, I know they can withstand pressure, heat isn't something to consider.........

So my question is, is there anything wrong with using hoses (Auto or Home Depot Grade) rather than PVC pipes? I am asking because I would like the ability to move my sump whenever I want to for what ever reason without the hastle...........

Oh, and I'll be using auto clamps since I have experience with these..........

 

[game411]

thanks, will go shop for those......

 

[game411]

cool, thanks, I'll do that, I'm still working on he base for now.............

Does anyone have an example of the spa flex hose in use? I am looking into redoing my plumbing and the rigid is just not working in my application. Sorry to hijack the thread. Thanks.
