Connecting backwash hose to pump

[Modawg2k]

Do I need any special adapter at the end of my 1.5" pipe coming from the pool filter to attach to a standard backwash hose with a clamp? Or is the clamp enough to keep the hose attached?

Glue a threaded coupling onto the waste pipe. Screw this adaptor in. Slip the hose over whichever step fits and clamp it.
