LOL. No worries. They're quarter inch bulkheads and quarter inch tube.Sorry, Are they a specific size or brand ?
If u look back I put the web address in this threadSorry, Are they a specific size or brand ?
Run RO tubing straight down in to the dosing container and you should be good. Keep it simple and avoid the ro bulkheads and what not.
Have no idea how these don't work for people I've made like 10 of these in the last 3 years and all work perfect.
Such a jerkI think after the trouble I had it I believe the trick is getting good straight/clean cuts and using new tubing (Neptune tubing that is a bit more rigid). Once I did those two things it worked flawlessly and I now feel like a complete jerk for complaining.
That being said it took a bit of effort on my part to get to the bottom of what was wrong.
I use the tubing that came with the BRS dosers, whatever that is. Polyethylene I believeSo is there a tubing that would both fit the 1/4" peg 1/4" barb fittings and fit the little adapter things that connect to the doser? Standard airline tubing was far too small even with heating to try to coerce it onto the barb.

Thats a Stage Prop sump !..its too clean and organizedI had a similar situation last week with the bulk head and acrylic tubing. For me the root cause was not getting a clear break in the rod, so when it was pushed into the bulkhead it seated but didn't create that seal. I had some RODI tubing laying around and used it instead. The mur-lok tubing has worked great so far!
Almost forgot to mention that if you like this idea (and there are many great ones here), use a small plastic rod and a couple of zip ties to hold the 1/4" tubing straight and pointing to the bottom of the bottle. I used a piece of plastic clothes hanger. There are better ways but this is simple and works.We always seem to have empty Patron tequila bottles laying around. They have a heavy base so they never tip over and they hold full 750ml. Drill the cork with a 1/4" bit and you're in business. Now you have a good excuse to buy some more tequila!.
