VarioS-8 adapter doesn't fit

[zarith]

Hi all,

Got in my VarioS-8DC pump. Was checking it out to make sure everything was in order. I looked at all the attachment for the water outlet and they all looked rather large. Even the smallest is 1". My Waterbox has a return tubing of only 3/4".

Anyone run into this problem before? I've been to Lowe's and Walmart with no luck.

Any recommendations?

Vinyl (flex) tubing or hard pipe?
Adapters are typically readily available at Lowes/Home Depot..
If vinyl you'd want something like a 1" to 3/4" barb fitting..
If hard pipe reducing bushings or many other ways to skin that cat..

Was having a hard time finding what I needed at the Lowe's. Have very few options where I am. Interestingly, I found this on a Pool/spa website where it's a 1.25" to 3/4" barbed. The VarioS-8 does have an attachment for 1.25" fitting. I found the piece on Amazon and got some Oatey primer and cement. Will see if this works.

Thanks for the advice. Will pursue your suggestions if this method fails.

When it comes to pvc pipe, fittings, and water tube fittings (John guest type) and the big box stores, I have had way more luck finding what I needed at Home Depot rather than Lowe's.
Better selection and variety, at least where I live.

The spa plumbing parts came and everything fit together nicely. Where I am, there's only a Lowes and....well, a Lowes. My idea of shopping where I am is sitting in front of the screen and clicking the purchase button. Small towns are not known for variety.
