Can the connection from my pump to the pressure tank be just 1 1/4" poly plumbing hose?

The old arrangement has a series of metal connectors and using poly would be easier for me. Thanks in advance!

I think you are saying you have a jet pump, so yes. Is the pressure switch on the pump, and you are talking less than 4 ft of poly? If the poly is long, the pressure switch should be at the pressure tank.

The jet pump is about 3.5' away.

The old set up has a turn off valve between the two, but I'm not sure why.

Thanks for your help.
