What were you dosing before adding the kalk reactor?

If you are handy, I imagine you could build one of these pretty easy for cheap. I just didn't want to fool around with it though. I'm not sure you would want to add the kalk directly to the top off water though as you may damage/clog up the pump and then you'll need to buy a new pump.

Before adding this, I was just trying to manual dose daily.
