A:  Depends on the type of hose you buy. The pump shown has a lip on it. Measure across the lip and that is the OD or outside diameter of the valve or lip. If you measure the inside of the lip or inside that hole that is the ID or inside diameter. That should tell you which hose to buy. Note : if the hose goes on the OD you might consider a zip tie or hose clamp to hold the hose since it moves 500 GPH or gallons per Hour.
