I picked up a VOSS bottle to use with my Kamoer X1 dosing pump.

It appears the tubing with the X1 is smaller than the typical RO tubing. So, when I connected everything up from a VOSS bottle guide, the pump would not draw up liquid.

This is the connection I drilled into the top of the lid to try to use. I have used an acrylic rod and also RO tubing inside of the bottle with no luck. It feels like the connector and the tubing inside the bottle is fine. The issue appears to be the smaller diameter hose that is used from the pump itself.

This is probably a simple fix, but I do not know where to start. I scoured a couple online stores in hopes of fumbling onto a connector, but no luck.
 
If you look around on amazon, or probably elsewhere, you can find barb fitting reducers. You need one that has the ID of RO tubing, and then the ID of whatever tubing you are using. Use a short piece of RO tubing to go in the fitting, then use the barb reducer to connect to your dosing line.

So I would need a 1/4 to a barb to the tube that's "3mm ID x 5mm OD". Thanks. I will start digging for that specific connection.
 
Maybe put a short piece of RO tubing into the fitting and then you could attach something like this?
