Is anyone else running their tunze osmolator pump directly in an RO/DI and kalk mix bucket? I just got mine setup yesterday and that is how I am running it. I know the life is reduced considerably - but how long can I expect the pump to last this way? I have it sitting on a platform I made from eggcrate/pvc so that it doesn't suck the stuff that settles at the bottom.
My thinking is, the tunze calcium dispenser is way overpriced at $100. Since the pumps are only $12, if each pump had to be replaced every 6 months, that's stil 4 years worth of pumps I could get for $100. However, if the pump life is reduced to only 2-3 months, then it totally makes sense to get the tunze calcium dispenser, or even a kalk reactor. Thoughts? Experiences?
