The original hose is a reinforced vinyl hose with plastic connectors. I went to Home Depot and bought 2-4' stainless steel braided washer supply hoses as the replacement and connected them in the middle with an adapter. I did notice on the same shelf that there was a metal 90° elbow 8' stainless braided dishwasher hose in case you needed the same close quarters configuration of the original hose, too. I had enough room to use a straight hose vs the 90° elbow hose.
Cost was just around $25...not bad fer some cheap insurance from water damage from a busted hose. With him traveling most of the week and no one else at home...it would've been a lot of damage to come home to if that hose had let go. We had already replaced his washer hoses to his washer with stainless braided hoses some time ago...it was just time to replace the Cat Genie's supply hose as well.
