DIY kalk reactor with maxijet1200

[Chin_Lee]

For those who have DIY kalk reactors with maxijets, what fittings are you using to attach the maxijets (input and output) to the outside of the reactor?

[Tangman]

I've just used vinyl hose, barb fitting on outside of reactor to vinyl hose to maxijet, easy er to service or replace pump

For the outlet, I use:

Plastic tube that comes with maxi jet that fits over the outlet glued 1 threaded portion of a 1/2" cutoff riser. Now you have a maxi jet that can accept 1/2" pvc fittings on the outlet.

Here's a link to the cutoff riser than I'm talking about:

For the inlet, I glue a pvc fitting on and use that.
