Tunze Kalk Dispenser question

[FishGuy5]

Can you tell me if you can use the Tunze Kalk Dispenser w/ any auto top off unit, or is it solely used w/ an Osmolator? I have an Auto Top Off unit w/ an AquaLifter pump. Thanks for the help.

I am not sure, it works with 7mm tubing and it needs a fair amount of pressure and flow as the pump is what stirs the kalk.

I want to make a similar dispensing unit either out of a lexan/HDPE/etc container from a place like "the container store" or equivalent food grade container or large diameter PVC since thats all the tunze unit really is. is the tubing size from the osmolator pump 7mm? I am just placing an order now for the kit and would like to make this kalk reactor in time to set everything up when it arrives.

Hi
I am just about to do the same thing, the tubing is 4/7mm.
