You need speecial fitting co connect it to the PVC.

If you look at the picture with the little neighbor girl holding the
pump you can see (somewhat) the flexible tubing going from the pump to
the checkvalve. The flexible tubing is held on via a clamp to the
pump and on the other end a fitting that pushes inside the tube (again
with a clamp) and then presents a regular PVC fitting for future glue
jobs.

Perhaps easier to see is the very end of the line (top in this
picture) where there is another fitting (again shoved down inside the
flexible hose) and clamped on. This fitting has a threaded PVC end
for the bulkhead out of the skimmer box.

I have some of the flexible black pvc hose as seen here about halfway down
(not the Laguna stuff):

Does this use regular pvc glue with the purple primer? Since this says you
can use regular PVC fittings, that was my assumption, but I thought I'd make
sure before gluing and burying.
