Which Calcium reactor design is best?

[Covey]

"I am planning on building a Calcium Reactor. Ever the "$200 day off" style or a mini version of the Snailman CR. My question is since I will be building it I can make it any style I would like. Which is best standard, reverse flow or spray bar style?"

I posted that in the DIY section no reply. Maybe more of an advanded question does anyone have any input?

Reverse flow works better IMO as it makes better use of the CO2 in the chamber.

Am not an expert ... but ... I learned one lesson:

Your pump that circulates the water through the reactor should be on the bottom level of the reactor and not mounted at the top as some commercial units have.

(reason: CO2 can be collected in the pump and all of sudden it runs dry).

What about the Spray bar design?
