So I have a sicce return pump that connects to 1 inch return soft tubing as my main pump. In the case of emergency meaning that pump stops working, I have a back up m2 ecotech pump. The issue is the barb that fits the output of the ecotech pump does not fit the 1 inch tubing inch tubing. I would need bigger tubing and I don't want to change around the tubing. Without changing the tubing id like to somehow quickly connect the 1 inch tubing to the output of the ecotech pump. The S2 barb is 3/4 inch and fits great for soft tubing, but does not connect to the output of the M2. Basically I need a 3/4 inch S2 barb fitting to fit with the output of the M2. Is there anything I can buy?

You should be able to adapt it pretty easily with commonly available adapters and fittings. Just bring the pump with you into home depot and find a combination of fittings that work. From what you described, you probably just need a threaded reducer fitting coupled with a threaded to barb fitting. The threaded adapter will be with PVC fittings and the barbed will be with or near the in-ground sprinkler system fittings if its anything like my Home Depot.
