Hi this is an air valve to reduce the air flow if you need to. Connect this with the 4/6mm hose to your Sp1 pump.

Sorry mate i tested it and it worked for 200l volume. Can not post a video because at the time everything is stored away in my basement. I don't have the time at the moment. but you have a few possible ways to change air and waterflow. There is no way for it not to work. ☺️
