Hey Guys,
I recently installed an aquamax sulfur denitrator. Actually it's their calcium reactor but the TS-1 has been out of stock for months so I just purchased the T-1. Same thing essentially.
I was also told I needed a feed pump so bought a sicce 0.5 with rodi hookup. Put it in the sump and good to go.
Noticed today the sicce pump is making a lot of noise. I have it currently at 1 drop a second and as the reactor medium matures I will increase the flow rate but there's always going to be a lot of backpressure against the pump. I have a feeling this noise is only going to get louder and fry the pump pretty quickly. Here's the adapter I installed. Was thinking I could also just drill a hole into the hose to allow some relief.
I was thinking of just installing a T in the return pump line and putting a rodi outlet there somehow. I have a Vectra S2 return pump. Looking at the spcs should be 3/4" fitting which seems right as the tubing is about 1".
Anyone have any idea how to T this line and install a 1/4" rodi insert? With the least amount of parts possible? Anyone ever do this?
thanks

Sicce Hose Assembly for Top Off
Converts the output of a Sicce 12mm barb to 1/4" poly tubing. Includes 10' of tubing, and a anti siphon bulkhead connector. To install, simply connect to your pump and install the anti siphon bulkhead inside your top off container above the max water line (or in the lid) and route to your sump.
