Actually, I did by-pass the chlorine system and go directly to the return. The hose seemed to be fine. I think I was being a bit overly concerned with the movement of the hose. It's just a bit more flexible than the original hose. I will look into the hose and clamps recommended earlier. In the meantime, I'm only running the pool when I'm around to keep an eye on it.

I truly appreciate everyone's responses.
