Have any of you changed the feed line on your Kamoer x2sr pump from the 3/8 to 1/4 R/O tubing? If so how did it affect your pumping rate, and what adjustments did you do for it?

It works fine, just need to recalibrate the flow for both pumpsHave any of you changed the feed line on your Kamoer x2sr pump from the 3/8 to 1/4 R/O tubing? If so how did it affect your pumping rate, and what adjustments did you do for it?
I’ve spent 2 weekends trying to get mine dialed in to where it drains and fills the exact amount perfectly and still have yet to get it just right. I finally had to take a break from it because it was mentally wearing me out constantly having to make adjustments to try to get it right. Gets extremely close to perfect as far as doing a 4 gallon water change that I want it to do, but not “perfect”.what transfer speed are folks getting.

It always fills just slightly past the 4 gallon mark, or I’ll adjust it and it will drain slightly more than 4 gallons. One way I’m wasting more mixed up saltwater, another way I run the risk of draining slightly more than I fill and run the risk of salinity dropping due to draining slightly more than I should over a period of time and ATO kicking on more frequently.
It easily pushes 10 feetI would like to the use the built-in ATO feature on the unit. However, my pump is downstairs by the mixing station. Will the little 24v pump they give push about about 10 feet? Is there another compatible pump that might?
I’ve been using larger measuring cups and using 5 gallon buckets and determining where each gallon is on the bucket to attempt calibrating it instead of the small measuring cylinder they give and setting it up to do 3 gallon water changes and adjusting it from there based on what it does. But I still haven’t gotten it perfect yet. Extremely close, but not perfect. And yes the output hoses will vibrate from the pumpcant you fill me in on how you calibrate yours. I was getting very frustrated when testing the calibration using smaller amounts because it was always about 50% off. However, when I did a full gallon it was pretty, close. May the margin of error is bigger than I thought.
Also, does you output hose shake like crazy?
sorry, 10ft vertical????It easily pushes 10 feet
Yes easily.sorry, 10ft vertical????
