Go to AutoZone or similar and get you a 12 or 14 inch heater hose I use that on my pump as they are built to stand the heat. after I put the heater hose on I then attached 8 foot of that harder clear but flexible plastic tubing this tubing can be whatever length you need 8 foot just worked for me. I believe all of it is half inch inside diameter. Then I went from that to my weighted hose which is 5/8 inside diameter you will need a few clamps and a couple fittings for diameter changes or for fitting together hoses. My pump gets super hot too in the first 6 to 8 inches of tubing. The heater hose worked like a charm!!
