What connections are available for 1" hose?

I don't like taking my tank lid off every night as that's how dirt gets in. Mine's just reduced down to 1/2" and hozelock type connectors but obviously takes longer to fill. I just connect a male to a female and turn my transfer pump on.

Just wish I could do the same with 1" hose.

Ive cut my lid so the hose runs out for the delivery hose comes out through the lid to a petrol type pump that pure freedom sell.
Works very well.
