Litter Meter III how does it work?

[plancton]

If I´m looking to dose 2 part alk and ca, as well as auto top off, do I only need the litter meter III?, or what accesories do I need? Do I need to buy an additional ATO?, how do you set it up?, etc.

You need to buy a couple more pump modules. I don't use the ATO system with mine, I just monitor the dosing every week or so and adjust the amount seasonally. I reckon the ATO system would be an extra safety option but I've never considered it -- the LMIII has been successfully topping off my tank with kalk for 6 years and I love it. If I had the right room setup, I'd buy two more pump modules use it for daily water changes too...

I would go with the drew's doser from BRS. cheaper and just as reliable.

Love the litermeters. I use one for Kalk-topoff, you would need two external pumps to dose 2 part, both of which would be controlled by the litermeter III

additional external pumps?, thats just crazy expensive. What do you need to control drew´s doser?

A controller if you have one- if not, regular timers work fine.

yep, but they are reliable, don't back flow, and will last forever. Look for them used
