Default Peggie - head feed/supply question

So, I'm finally at the point of reinstalling/completing my head
installations. I'm using either aussieglobe cuz I ordered before they
quit selling it, or PVC/aussie joint for the downstream stuff.

However, the supply hoses which were on the pumps (in and out, from
through hull shutoff and to bowl) are white, stamped "made in the USA"
and no other visible markings. Recall that I have tees which used to
supply some venturi-provided solution to the flush; your recommendation
was to delete those and the solution.

Given my enthusiasm for not having to later replace those hoses, and
knowing that even plain seawater stinks if it stagnates, but also
knowing that those little hoses get a lot of movement, I'm wondering if
any special hose is needed for these applications. The current hoses
don't seem to smell, aren't sticky, or otherwise resemble the removals
of the outflow hoses. However, with the tees, plus the new requirement
(not present in either head before) of much longer lines and vented
loops, I'm going to replace them.

What's the recommended supply line?

Thanks.

In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter,
that's the charm of it.
Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your
destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never
get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in
particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to
do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."
