I bought a beckett water pump for a tiny sump I'm building. Finished the overflow, and am putting things together and I realized I don't have anything to make sure the tubing stays on the output of the pump. I've tested it, and the tubing stays on while running, but I was thinking of adding a zip tie or something. Is there a special way to make sure the tubing stays on a water pump?
how to secure tubing to water pump?

At your local hardware store, you'll find plumbing clamps that should be used with any soft tubing. Teflon goop (not tape) and pvc primer/glue should be used with sch 40/80.
Yeah hose clamps for soft. Im assuming soft (vinyl, corregated plastic) because i dont know how you could use a zip tie (which will not work for anything) for PVC.
And because you said tubing.

I`ve found, even with hose clamps, I could still get a drip from the hose connections.
I cured it by a bit of silicone on the hose barb before clamping.
