Kalk Reactor

[Mark NJ]

Hello all!! I'm looking to try my hand at a DIY Nilsen type kalkwasser reactor. Has anyone made one or something similar or know of any threads I could check out?

I just built one exactly like this for $70 total - works great.

There is also this style.

Good luck!

Thanks Melnick. I prefer your design and will be doing that as my next project. One question though, do you have to time the mixing cycle so the Kalk has time to settle before the fresh wter input cycle kicks in?
