Aftermarket hose fails after 6 months.

Aftermarket hose fails after 6 months.
Just a FYI.
I changed the T hose that goes from the coolant reservoir to the waterpump 6 months ago with a aftermarket hose that I got for 15 or 20 dollars. The car has been loosing massive amounts of coolant, and I found the said hose was leaking at all 3 ends. I tried different clamps and it did not help, so I went ahead and bought the 70.00 hose from the dealer, and the car is not leaking anymore, but the important part is that the when I took the aftermarket hose out it was literally disintegrating from inside out. The coolant tank nipple, and the waterpump housing nipple had black goo all over them from the hose falling apart from inside out. It's part c2s23485. I would advise to not be tempted to get the 15.00-20.00 dollar hose on Amazon or e-bay and just get the real thing
