Decreased discharge piping = decreased flow
Decreased flow = more/harder work for the pump
Harder working pump = decreased life expectancy
dead pump = water / moisture intrusion


Honestly, if the manufacturer of the pump wanted a garden hose connection, it would have been 3/4" instead of 1-1/4". Combine that with an improper garbage can sump pit not being installed at/below the footer and the whole thing needs to be redone.
