I purchased the hose extensions at Boaters World and the connectors at Home Depot, you can buy a 3/4 in hose at Home Depot but it is not as flexible, doesn't really need to be in this case. The pump and fittings are npt, (national pipe thread) and the fly high sacs are made for a straight thread with a "o"ring, you can see that I put the "o"ring on the pump and fittings and they have never leaked. I put over 200 hours on the boat last summer with that configuration. The ballast system has worked perfectly everytime I hit the fill or empty switch.
