Yes I use 3/4 hose to my pump - I upgraded from 1/2 just over a year ago

you can get hose lock fitting that are compatible with 3/4" hose

For all things like this I use GEKA fittings.... from 1/2 inch up.....last forever and occasionally replace the rubber washers/seal.

Have them on my tanks, ro, di, pump, external water tap....makes everything easy , same connectors on everything....swap hoses in/out regardless of hose sizes.

Cheers Dave.
