Booster pump fittings

Good evening chaps. Just about to purchase the following booster pump for my 4040 RO;

https://www.xline-systems.co.uk/en/xline-shop-2/filters-filter-systems/filter-systems/240v-booster-pump-with-electronic-shutoff-detail

When you look at the products individually it tells you that they have 1'' outlets. I want to just run my JG pipe through it and the biggest connection I can get for 1/2'' JG hose is 3/4''.

@Tuffers is this the pump you have and if so do you know the fitting sizes as I know you have JG connections on yours. If not then I might be reliant on the expertise of @spruce... Any help would be appreciated chaps.

Just looked at the link Paddy. Be careful as I'm not sure you're buying a 'ready to go' booster? I have what looks the same (might be a different model number, who knows?) I bought mine from Gardiners already wired up. I paid £350+ for mine. I don't think Gardiners sell boosters anymore. If you did buy the booster from xline maybe @Alex Gardiner could point you in the right direction for the fittings and wires you'll need.

Here's a picture of mine for reference.

You've made a good point there @Tuffers regarding the wiring up of the unit. I'm sure its quite easy to do but if I remember correctly, Alex had a tick box where you could have him wire it up for a small additional fee.

@P4dstar, why not contact Xline and ask them if they can do this if you don't feel confident in doing it yourself? I would also ask them to supply the right fittings for you to use with JG tubing.

If not a 1" female to 1/2" male reducer will be available somewhere.
