Check valve

[ramsey]

I'm looking for a small check valve. It needs to be 1/8" I think. It's for my ATO/kalk reactor. Does anyone carry it locally?

Perfect! Thanks Jack!

They didn't have on in stock. I checked Texas Tropical and Lowes as well but no dice. :(

I have an airline check valve, do you think it would work for water?

[txav8r]

not too sure about that one.
Airline check valves have really soft springs so it won't take much to close them but I don't know how good they seat.

Hmmm, well that sucks. I have an RO line check valve too so I may see if I can get that on to work.

im using this with my tunze on a kalk reactor and works fine so far ... 3 months or so

HA! That's exactly what I need one for Tunze + GEO kalk reactor. I guess I'll give it a try. I have another question. Are you using the GEO kalk reactor or something else? If you're using the GEO, did you have to put a flow control on the line or something? The Tunze pump seems a bit too powerful and it ends up stirring the kalk up and dumping it my tank.
