I'm new to ponds and I'm trying to set one up.

I got a pump that specifies that it takes 1" hose. This will feed a
filterfalls waterfall that specifies that it has a 1 1/2" bulkhead.

Should I just get hose clamps from the plumbing section of Lowe's?

WARNING - Those metal hose clamps with a screw that tightens the clamp will rust - I know this from
experience. Do not let these clamps touch your pond water. A better solution would be to adapt the
pump's 1" hose connection to accept PVC pipe.
