Title: John Guest 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/4
Post by: formb on September 09, 2013, 05:54:09 pm: Any one know where I can get one of these (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HM-Digital-V0820426-Mur-Lok-1-4-x-1-2-x-1-2-Quick-Connect-T-Fitting-/321190813327?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ac876de8f)?

(http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1378745641_JG fitting.jpg)

It's a Mur-Lock John Guest 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/4 reducing T part number V0820426. It is for plugging in an in line TDS meter to my EZ-pure RO?

All I can find is from the states. Dont fancy paying £30.07 postage :o

If they won`t fit in use a flame heat the pu hose for a short time it will shrink over the tube.Hope this all makes sense.

It is for the pure water output. If you reduce the output hose diameter you reduce your output ratio.

Post by: formb on September 09, 2013, 07:01:14 pm: I spoke with Fiona at Gardiners. She offered the same solution but advised it may effect output ratio.

Post by: richard jagger on September 09, 2013, 07:15:55 pm: Test the litre flow before the change and test after it will be the same. I am sure. Think of your pole hose it goes from 8,, to a 4 m jet hose and my pole is still 7 litres a min as the pump.

Post by: formb on September 09, 2013, 07:42:25 pm: It has to do with the waste valve. It has a hole in it calibrated to give you around 70 30 waste ratio. If you change the diameter of the output you change the ratio.
