I have an Aqua Medic Turboflotor 1000 Multi which was used as a hang on and will now be used in my new sump. The output for the skimmer has 2 small pipes coming off of it. I want to put an elbow on them and feed them below the water line in my sump to avoid splashing.

Problem is, the pipe is an odd size. They have an OD close to 1". I have tried 3/4" to 1" fittings with no luck.

Does anyone have any recommendations as to a solution to this problem? Has anyone else had this issue?

i don't have a rec on the size issue but I do recommend that you use a tee insted of the elbow to prevent a siphon effect.

Would have a better shot getting some vinyl tubing to fit. Can heat with boiling water or a heat gun to make it stretch some.
