Default My DIY Kalkmixer

Here's my new kalk mixer.



I used ABS Fittings and clear PVC. It took about an hour to make. Sorry about all the mess behind it. Again, this is using my buddies digital camera a couple of days after setting it up.

Bill, is this from plans off the web? Maybe share the link for others to copy. Let us know how it performs over time!

No Brad, this is my own design. I built a different mixer about a year ago, but there were some things I didn't like about it and decided to make a new one and implemented the changes. So far it's working nicely. I have a reservoir with RO/DI water above it and a kent float valve below.

Yeah, I felt a little ambitious last Thursday. Thanks for the complement.

Could we get a schematic or something? I wouldn't mind building that.

I'll try to come up with something. I have nothing written down at the moment. I'll try to get back you in a couple of days. Hopefully sooner.
