So I found a Masterflex tonight.

Actually I can't see that there's a difference. They are both 1/4"

So looks like L/S 24 is High Performance with a higher pressure rating. I think the OD is larger than L/S 17 with the same ID.

Not sure on how it translates but should be ok to use as long as you dial in the flow rate on the head unit correctly.

That particular head 7518-00 is not listed to support Ls24. It does support ls17.

I'm not sure what happens when you use a tubing that it is not listed for. Probably nothing. The larger the inner diameter the slower you can run the pump, the quieter it will be.

I’m assuming most people have it pull from the CaRX output?

I pull.

I pull.

I've not seen a lot of these setup, but I've only seen pushing before, out of curiosity, why do you pull?

Couple reasons:

* if the output gets clogged pushing will eventually cause the o-rings to leak or potentially cause some damage from the pressure.

* If the reactor has a leak, pushing will just continue to fuel that leak and take water out of the sump. Pulling should stop taking water out of the sump if pressure drops enough in calcium reactor.

More of a plumbing safety than function thing, got it. Thanks.
