On J & L's website it says the Maxi-Jets have an adjustable flow rate? but on mine I cannot see where I can adjust it. Anyone have a clue?

Thanks,

Chad, can you supply a link to where it says this? I don't see that feature listed.


edit: Oh, I see where it says that. Not sure why, cause I don't think it's true.

"Includes intake tube, prefilter screen, air filter, silencer, & flow adjustment."

this means that the air intake flow amount is adjustable.. which they are.. no false advertising here at all.

I wasn't being serious about the false advertising.. :rolleyes: If you read it tho it just says "flow adjustment" doesn't say "flow adjustment for air filter". Its all in the way it is worded. I was hoping against hope it had a flow adjustment.

I know you were joking about it.. but that whole line deals with the air intake so only makes sence that the adjustment is for the air intake also.

there is a way you can reduce the flow and that would be to make a difuser for the output of the power head.

Its no big deal, I will just go buy a new PH.. Anyone have a clue where to get the Turbo ventruri for the Maxi-jet? J&L cannot get it in apparently.

They will mail it. :mrgreen:

You should try to trade the pH. Sometimes people want a larger one - it'll save you some cash.

Well I need it to power my Protien skimmer ( in the future). But in the meantime I was thinking I might be able to adjust it lower. Thanks for the link, I will buy it ASAP.

Add a Hagen quick filter to the intake. Add filter material to slow down the flow.

The hole at the top will have to be opened up a bit.
