Please don't republished that title out of context.
It was kinked and now leaks on both sides of these hose. I would like to replace it with a much longer hose that includes enough room for a service loop so that it doesnt Kink so easily. Has anybody done that Mod?
What size / type of hose is that? Why can't I just use an automotive fluid hose? If I wanted to replace it directly, what sort of house would I buy?
Any help would be appreciated.

If you can find heater/radiator hose big enough, I'm sure that would work. I really like spa/jacuzzi hose that my local hardware store sells. It can't be kinked or collapse even after sitting in the sun.

I am going putting that loop in it will help keep it from kinking. That's just 3/4" automotive heater hose. I'll let you know if it works...

That heater hose wont last. If thats a drain line from the sac to the inlet of a pump, that loop is going to work against you.
Coil reinforced hose is best. Maybe a couple inches shorter than the original.
What bag was that attached to? Front? That's a really short hose.

Yup. The front drain line.

Could replace it with the real stuff...

Just curious -- what will happen to the heater hose?

If ti will be installed as its represented in the pic above, I see is slowly collapsing at the 3 and 9 oclock positions. Also, any amount vacuum in the line during draining, will add the collapsing.
I do like those blue wing nut hose clamp thinger-majiggers you have there. Where'd you pick those up at? That would make winterization a breeze!
