Default Substitute hose for Polaris 360 automatic swimming pool cleaner

Does anyone know of a website where you can purchase plastic hose
material that will work with a Polaris 360 swiming pool cleaner. The
Polaris brand replacement part cost over $22 for one 6 foot length of
hose. I need 24 feet of hose and at $3.66 a foot.......well, there's
got to be a cheaper way. I'm sure there is some other off brand hose
that would work just fine.

Thanks for any help you may have.

=====================
Honestly sometimes spending 88 bucks for the "correct" hose is cheaper
then saving a few bucks and buying what you think is an ok hose....

I needed an additional 2 foot of hose and being cheap did buy a proper
sized hose from HD ...worked great for 2-3 years then the hose became
discolored and very stickey to the touch because of the chloride in
the pool water... in other words it looked bad... but it did work!

My polaris is almost 25 years old...(the pool is over 30) still using
the original hose for the most part...

Your choice... if It were me I'd spent the 80 some bucks and be done
with it... its just another expense like chemicals.. lol
