Somewhere it was mentioned to use 'burst free' washing machine hoses.
Which one do I purchase? Also, when doing the connection, should that white material that comes in a small winded spool be used? I forget the name of it... is it teflon tape?

Since these are hose connections you don't need to Teflon Tape the threads.
Good luck, Tom

Hi i64, notice the "burst free" hoses carry a 10 year warranty, I wouldn't expect them to last much longer than that. Good luck

And to be honest I have always purchased the economy ones at home depo and have never had one burst.

Thanks, I was looking for specific one that someone had used or recommends. There are too many in the shopping results.

Kind of funny but I do what Chuck is doing. I know better but then I too have never had one burst. I do replace them every 5-10 years.
