    Gee Dick, I wasn't knocking anyone, just providing a data point. Sanitary
    hose is smooth, strong, and accustomed to a nasty environment. I wouldn't
    use heater hose personally, because 1 1/2" heater hose might collapse under
    suction. It's under pressure in automotive applications.

    Actually the radiator hose on the pick up side of the water pump from the
    radiator on a car truck etc. is wire reinforced so it will not collapse. This
    is a common over heating problem on older cars - trucks when the wire rots out
    of the hose. If your car is overheating give that hose a check by simply
    squeezing it. If it collapses it could be part of the problem.
