get a empty 2l coke bottle
Drill two holes in the cap big enough to fit the aqualifter tubing
Insert the output line from the aqulifter into one hole and make sure the tubing goes all the way to the bottom of the bottle. Make sure u have enough slack so u can easily remove the cap.from the bottle.
Insert a second piece of tubing 1" into the second hole and clip the other end into a HIGH flow area in ur sump. Use some epoxy to seal the lines to the cap.
Calculate the amount of water ur ato relplaces in ur system every week. Multipy that number by two and thats how much teasloons of kalk u should add the bottle every week during ur regular maintanence. Make sure the cap is on tight and u now have a saturated kalk doser that wont affect ur pump life.


You can get a couple coke bottles and swap em in as ur cleaning the other. If u evaporate heavily this may not be a good idea. Look the randy holmes farley article on kalk and it will tell u what max amount of kalk u can dose into ur tank at one time while not raising the ph to quickly. Ull need to do some math to figure it out but its easy
