good source for hoses

Well, looks like my water pump has about had it. I'm noticing water dripping off of it. I want to replace as many hoses as I can while the thing is out. Who sells all those smaller hoses that go all over the engine bay for these cars?
A word to the wise: the water pump failure was probably MY OWN fault! Last summer, I had one of the upper radiator hoses break. Luckily, I was in front of a West Marine boating shop, so I went in there and purchased some really tough stiff hose that is used for marine cooling systems. I guess my upper radiator hoses are not going to break any time soon! The problem came from looking for water to fill the cooling system. I was in Deltaville VA, and if anybody has ever been there knows that the well water around there is nasty with sulfur. I did get water from a faucet connected to a water softener, but I imagine there was still a considerable amount of minerals and other junk dissolved in the water. The intention was to just run the water in there long enough to get back to town, but I forgot about it, and ended up running the dirty water for an entire year until I decided to flush the cooling system a few weeks ago.
I have always heard that non-pure water will attack water pump bearings and cause premature failure. Considering how nasty the water was, this is a proven fact! One should always run distilled water in the cooling system!
