Loc01 Your reactor suck. I can't keep my eyes of them since it look crazy. The pump too quiet, too much water run through my media, Ph stay at 8.3, 6.6 out of the effluent. Dude i ran out of word about this reactor. Kevin you should get one . By the way, it is good to have the flow meter, Loc set them at 35ml per Min and it stay the same since yesterday. I even test it with the cup and it is at 35ml/m.

O-rings I get them from Ace Hard Ware, Mcfadden Dale and Heating &Plumbing(GardenGrove&Euclid), you can also buy them at swimming pools place.

Thanks for taking the time out to answer my question. I am not much of a DIY person but I am always interested in seeing people DIY project. Does Heating & Plumbing sell the flow meter as well? How much is the whole thing cost?

Have not seen any of the reactor with the flow meter. How does it works and where is the flow meter connect from and to?

There will be update pictures soon but not ca reactor. The one I am doing now is Zeovit Reactor, one the will hold massive amount of media rocks.

Loc

Sohal11,

Some heating & plumbing places do sell the flowmeter but you have to look for the one with teflon or glass ball in the meter otherwise it's gonna be hard to run salt water thr. it. I got my flowmeter at Blue White Industries(model f-750ml/mt).

Well, most of the reactors will tend to have calcium build up and slow down the dripping(effluent) rate; With the flowmeter attached in line at the 2nd chamber out put, you will be able to set your effluent rate and check for clog in split of a second. Trust me on this cuz I used to sit in front of my ca reactor with a small cup and a watch what a pain in the ****.

Is there any calcium reactor out on the market that comes with the flow meter? Or is this an DIY kinda thing?
