Step 2Connect Polyflo tubing to the pump
The pump that I purchased didn't have a good method for attaching a pipe or a tube to its discharge, so I got a bit creative.
Using the hairdrier, I heated the end of about 3 feet of the polyflo tube until it was soft all around.
I used a pen to flare the end of it until it was large enough to slip over the discharge of the pump.
This took a while, and a bunch of patience.
I didn't end up needing the caulking for this bit, but you may need to to make a nice seal. For me, when the tube cooled, it shrank a bit and made a nice seal.
