    Does anyone know a store that sells plastic hose clamps that i can use to secure my return hose to my return pump? I rather not have to but it online so i can get them quick.

    I use zip ties from electrical to clamp barbs exposed to water, use 2 or 3, and tighten with pliers. The rest I use the standard steel screw-tightened ones.
