Cal reactor feed pump ?

[Mattl22]

The reactor I bought used needs a small feed pump just wondering which one to get the intake is the same size as co2 tubeing so I'd use a maxi Jett but I need a fitting to reduce the tubeing size from the maxi Jett to the size of co2 tubeing !
Any help would be appreciated maybe a link to the right pump or fittings!
Thanks matt

If you need a fitting go to homedepot and get one. - Its cheaper that way.

I would just T it off your return pump and then reduce the size to the 1/4" RO fitting.

It should really be a sideways T, because you still want the return to go straight up for minimal resistance, whereas the outlet to the side should go to the reactor since it doesn't require much flow.

Would home depot have that fitting seems like a pretty random fitting

Its always questionable if home depot has them in stock, but you could certainly try.
If your pump is threaded, just get a threaded T, which connects directly to the pump. The side with for the ca reactor would need the threaded 1/4" RO adapter in the ice maker section of home depot, and the top side for return would probably get an male thread to slip adapter so you can either continue plumbing PVC, or get a barb adapter for vinyl if thats what you use.

Take a look at BRS, they have the fitting you require for the maxijet pump. they use it for their media reactors it just pushes in, push fitting.
