I've seen that kind of thing in Northern Tools. It's called sump discharge
hose. They make an assortment of sizes. Can also be irrigation hose.

I made a water slide for my 4 year old today. I used a Wayne 1 HP pump
from Farm and Fleet, and their garden hose adapter.

The pump has openings for 1" pipe (1" NPT), and adapters for garden
hose, which is what I used.

I suspect that if I could use a 1" hose instead, I would greatly
improve water throughput and reduce load on the pump. The lift is only
about 2 feet. It may increase to maybe 4 feet if/when my son would
want a more exciting ride.

The setup recirculates water in an inflatable pool. The kid, is, in
fact, absolutely thrilled and could be barely dragged away from the
water slide, crying.

So, my question is, where can I find garden hose-like flexible hose
threaded for 1" NPT? I only need one threaded end, preferably male but
could be female.

Thanks
