Tunze Comline calcium reactor - can it run outside of a sump?

[thunt]

I've been offered one of these - model 3170.

I can't work out from the pictures if it can be run outside of a tank/sump. It needs to go in a cupboard under the tank and run as a standalone unit. It seems like most people here have it in a sump.

The write up says it can be run as a stand alone solution and then also says "operational with a minimum water level of 60 mm" so not sure which applies. If I could supply it with water from a pump in the the tank then that would be fine.

Can anyone advise please?

Thanks

It can be used in tank or in sump, but it cannot go outside the sump.

Thanks Roger

Could it be adapted to be pump fed?

It probably could but I wouldn't trust it to not have a hose pop off or leak. It would be an extensive DIY mod.
