Can I use drain hose on my return?

[jbeanz24]

Hey guys. Space in my sump is real tight , I was considering using drain hose for my return line. Can it be used for that purpose?

Buy this stuff works great. The drain hose might be a little larger in diameter than you need.

I wouldn't. I doubt that hose is designed for any type of pressure at all. Why don't you just use some spa flex?

Your going to need a line designed for a lil bit of pressure. Don't know if that stuff is rated for it at all.
