Default Kalk dosing cont....

Hi!
This is a continuation of my previous post regarding dosing kalk. I built my reactor today, see photo here. I am not very good in DIY stuff, but I tried. OK, I modified a bit the design that was provided in Stephane post (thanks again Stephane). After a bit of thinking about auto injector on float switch or similar system I decided for something else. Here is a brief description. Using needle valve (or other valve with some precision control) I will be dripping output from my kalk reactor to match my evap. rate. It shouldn't be a problem since my evap. is about 1.5gal a day and the valve I have now can do easily about drop/5 sec. RO/DI water will be constantly pushed to the reactor from my storage container creating constant pressure to keep drip rate stable. I done some tests during the day to monitor how My MaxiJet 1200 performs under constant pressure pump attached to needle valve. I am very pleased with test results. I monitored the drop rate using measuring cup and it was pretty constant. Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks.
