Jetstream 2 owners pls help
Any Schuran Jetstream 2 owners, can you please tell me how you feed your reactor. The directions say to tap a return from your sump, but that seems very risky to me. I would like to see how someone else did theirs.
Thanks Vic |

You can always try a small power head I would say rated for about 200 gallons per hour. They usually fit a 1/2 inch tube and with an adapter you can down size it to a 1/4 inch. However the best method is definetly to T it off from the return.
I have a schuran skimmer and there is an outlet to feed the reactor. Using a powerhead does not provide the most pressure that is needed. |

I found some picture that may help out but also there are two ways of doing this.
'T' fitting from their sump return pump or or a small power head. Milwaukee PH controller Peristaltic pump - "The best way of doing this" |

Thanks, I was worried about the pressure being too much. I can cut one of my returns and run a T off of it.
Thanks again Vic |
