Consider putting a quick connect fitting on both ends of the hose. It makes it easier to store the vacuum pump.

Your local pool supply is a good source: I have some high vacuum equipment at work (mass spectrometers) and found that 'pool pump hose' actually is better than the vacuum pump hose from the manufacturer: Lasts longer, is more flexible and and a lot cheaper. I use the same hose in my home workshop for vacuum veneering.

Cheers,
Bernhard

Both of the borgs sell a reinforced clear plastic hose that works very well.
