    Default Check valve

    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?

    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?

    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.

    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.
