That's the same one I was going to buy but for some reason the build quality and price didn't appeal to me. I ended up getting a GEO from Phishy Business. So far it's been good maintaining my Ca levels through the week. I have my ACjr stirring it 4 times a day for 10 minutes.

How much do those cost or where can I browse a site which has those listed with a price?

The Geo looks awesome in your setup.

Nuuze,

Can you explain how its piped in?? How do you keep it filled with RO/DI and how do you have it pumping into the Sump.

I have mine plumbed with a paristaltic doser prior to the Nilsen Reactor. It pushes the water thru. Even if it stuck on, it would take longer then a day to do any real damage to my system. I've got dual float switches to insure that never happens as well

What DKH does your keep you tank at?

Ahhh okay so you have the pump pull water from your RO/DI reserve into the reactor and push it out into the sump. Got it...... Is it at a drip rate or flow? Did you need a siphon break for it?

My DKH is typically 8-9ish on a regular basis.

If you look at the pics in my red house. The left of my sump is the fresh water reservoir. When the level in my sump drops the ATO sensor kicks the pump on. From the fresh water reservoir water is pumped to the kalk reactor then to the main part of the sump.

So 100% of your top off water is run through the reactor?

100% of mine does. No siphon brake needed with a paristaltic doser due to the roller design, but I use a one way valve as well. I pull from my basement so it could never siphon into my tank if something did happen.

Mines a steady drip rate as I use a really small doser.

Which pump do you use if you don't me asking.

 

[Nuuze]

Yes, all on my top off water goes through the kalk reactor. Geo included a check valve so kalk water does not flow back to the fresh water reservoir.

I use a Cole Parmer but the model # escapes me ;(
