Derry Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I need some plumbing advice, plz. I picked up a Mini-Jet to run my Knopp C calcium reactor. My question is how best to mate the 1/2" Mini-Jet outlet to the 1/4" calc reactor inlet, preferably with a ball valve in between to fine-tune the flow rate into the reactor. Thanks!

Robb in Austin Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I'm not 100% sure but you should be able to find a John Guest type fitting that would accomplish that. Put one of the little valves in too for flow regulation. (Unless you are talking PVC pipe, then I dunno. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddybluewater Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I tried to do the same thing with my Korallin. Finally gave up and bought a Aqualifter and it works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarathustra2 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 +1 on the aqualifters. I use them for jut about everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 My understanding was that aqualifters weren't submersible. Do you just have a length of tubing going from your tank/sump to the aqualifter, then on to whatever device you're supplying water to?

If I am pumping something besides RO water I take a cube of sponge filter and kinda stick the tube in there to pre-filter it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Yes. If I am pumping something besides RO water I take a cube of sponge filter and kinda stick the tube in there to pre-filter it. aqualifter also makes $3 pre-filters that are very easy to use. I use it on my ATO as I'm dosing kalk straight into my ATO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
