Default aquamedic 1000 to XP3
My tubing on the the XP3 is 5/8 and the connection to the aquamedic is smaller, I think 1/2. Should I just get the stainless steel hose clamps and tighten down? Or are there any reducers I can use? I'm sure someone here has this set up. How did you do it?

Thanks, Jeremy

Hey Jeremy,

The 5/8 inner diameter hose connects fine to the aquamedic 1000. Like you said, just use the hose clamps and tighten down. That is what I have running with no leaks. Good luck.
