Need advice on connection between pump and skimmer

[dzovi]

I have an Aqua C Remora Pro skimmer that is fueled by a Mag 3. To connect the two I have a plastic tube. The plastic tube used to be tight on the skimmer but yesterday the tubing disconnected from the male connection of the skimmer but still remained on the pump. This caused water to spray up into the air. Luckily my wife was home to catch it and unplug the pump. I want to avoid this for the future. Could I just super glue the hose to the skimmer's input area? Is there a better method? The Mag 3 pump is pretty heavy and gravity is causing the problem. Any advice would help. Thanks.

Try a plastic hose clamp

Could I find it at Home Depot?

Ouch, not sure you can find them there. Since you are in CA, I'd imagine there's a decent sized LFS around that stocks them. I believe Premium Aquatics has them as well, but that would be wasteful unless you are ordering other things.
