Osmolator and PM Kalkreactor

[PorkPie5000]

Just got a PM Kalkreactor and plan on putting it inline between my top off reservoir and my sump. The problem I am having is the reactor wants 1/4" rigid tubing going in and out and the osmolator doesn't use 1/4" rigid tubing.

What size is the tubing coming out of the osmolator pump? Is there an easy way to adapt from that to 1/4" rigid?

I can't be the first person to do this but I don't see any other posts about it.

Thanks!
Steve

The osmolator hose is 4/6mm the OD is about 1/4"(6mm), I would try to heat the hose with a lighter and stick the rigid tube into it.

that would not be the case (loss of pump life I mean) if you used the tunze made kalk reactor would it? I thought that it was made to go along with the osmolator?

I don't think I ever said the pump would have a shorter life unless it is submerged in kalkwasser. Any reactor would prevent the problem because it keeps the pump from being in the solution.

The old "heat it up and shove it in there" trick worked great!

Thanks!
