Question on replacing stock pump on an AP 24 with a Maxijet

[dgness]

I am going to replace the stock pump in my Aquapod 24 with the Maxijet 900.
When I do the swap, the out take outlet on Maxijet pump is smaller the the stock pump out take outlet. Which makes the the tubing supplied with the Aquapod too big a fit over outlet. Should I just buy a small clamp to attach it to the Maxijet?
Anybody that has made the switch, please let me know what you did to resolve that issue.
Thanks in advance.

Go to a local home improvement store and buy the correct size tubing. Or see if you can get a small length from a local hobbyist. Use zip ties to secure the tubing onto the MJ as well as the little outlet that goes into the display. The old tubing won't work...I tried.

What I did do is bought some cheap plumbing o rings to put on Maxijet outlet, fit tubing over that (snug fit) and used two plastic wire ties and tested it and it seems to hold without no leakage.
I am going to work with that for now.
Thanks for the suggestion.
