I found with spa flex you realy need to have a longer run say 1 to 2 feet to realy dampen the vibration. your best be would probably be to get some soft vinal hose and a couple pipe to hose barb adapters and come out of the pump into the vinal hose for 6" then back to hard pipe. you can only use this stuff on the discharge of the pump though.
