Trash pump hose

We had significant rain here and my yard and driveway are heavily flooded. The flooding has saturated the ground and I have water in my basement for the first time in the 13 years we have been here.

I bought a trash pump to help move the water from my yard and I have to get hoses for it. My question is: what is the best coupler system for the hoses? This is a 3.5 horse Honda/Coleman 2" pump with threaded couplers and I can go with threaded ends or add cam lock couplers.

Any suggestions on hoses? I will need over 100' of discharge hose.

Thanks
 
Threaded will work fine, but I prefer camlocks. All of my hoses are camlocks, just a lot easier and rust free.
 
I use trash pumps at work all the time. We use threaded so if we have to rent extra hoses you just screw them together. We also switch all the threads to fire hose thread and use fire hose. That comes in 50' lengths. Cam lock we use for hoses that are taken on and of alot during the day such as fill hoses on a water truck. Plus most hoses come with threads already then you buy the cam lock to thread onto the hose, or you have your hose custom built with cam lock fittings.
 
I assume that it is 2" NPT threads, Yes?
I would get 2" PVC couplers with 2" or 1.5" schedule 40 PVC pipe and start threading it together, that is for the outlet.
Are you running the pump/motor outside or is it in the basement with the discharge hose going out a window?

I have an electric 1/2 HP pump in my crawl space to pump water out. Outside I have a 1HP gas powered pump to move water over the driveway into a drainage pipe. (lots of rain for me too)
 
Oops I just reread your post, the pump is outside. Be sure you have a good strainer on the inlet hose so you do not suck up a rock into the pump.
 

If your basement does not normally get water you may not have a sump to suck out of. In which case you may find it useful to buy or build an inlet strainer that will direct the opening in the suck line so that it can draw from only one inch off the floor so that it will draw down lower than six inches without sucking air.
