That is basically what we have, but we used the "corrugated" hoses that originally came with our pump and filter and solar panels. Once we did the system with real PVC, we had these assorted left over corrugated hoses, almost like vacuum cleaner hose. My husband put those together using assorted joints, and then connected with a hose clamp to the backwash port. This hose does not hold water, rolls up pretty easily when we want it out of the way, does not split, and is way easier to use than that pitiful blue plastic sheeting "hose" that the pool stores sell.
