Sump Return Hose

I've got a few threads kind of rolling around out there right now, but I have another new question that I could use some help on. I've had some vibration issues with a return pump and although it is being replaced I'd like to make my return line out of flexible tubing.

I searched online and the stuff is expensive for 1.5" and the shipping is often high. So I headed out to Lowes and found this 1.5" pool vacuum hose. I was just wondering if this is possibly an option? I would cut off the connectors is has now and attach my own 1.5" barbed fittings and silicone/clamp them on. If useable I might go back and bu the 1.25" 25" kit and redo all the lines from my overflows to this.

The only concern I have with it is that the inside is not smooth like a majority of the non-kink pond hoses. I don't know if or how badly this would effect my flow or if it would create noise.

I tried to take some better shots of it, but it appears my rebel XTI has died on me. For once, I'm glad I bought a replacement plan from BestBuy.

Thanks for the help!

I looked at the flexible PVC, but it just does not flex as much as I need and I'm really just sick of PVC. I still have plans to completely redo the plumbing to flex. This way I'll run it under the stand and through the floor. This will give me the ability to work on it easier from below setup.

I was wondering in anyone had any experience with connecting to this type of hose or any type of hose with a ribbed interior. Because it is ribbed on the inside I'm have a love of trouble stopping leaks with barbed fittings. I put two clamps on it and tightened it as best I could, but it still leaks. I keep spending more and more money on this darn project and I'd like not to have to buy another hose.
