Spa and hot tub places are good and cheap. Look up your nearest one.

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.

And it is called Spaflex
I did hear a rumour (not sure if it's true) that there is some of that flex that is not rated for chlorine or salt water use, so if there's an ability to find out, I'd ask.

It's just PVC

Make sure you buy some Weld-On 795 cement as you shouldn't use regular PVC cement

And check it out before you buy it to make sure it'll work for you as it's not as flexible as vinyl hose
