![]() yes, you can only dissolve about 2 tblsp in a gallon of water, if you add more, it will just remain at the bottom. The reactor will keep mixing the kalk every so many hours, so you'll be good.
As far as your ATO, isn't it on a float switch? Why do you need to regulate it at all? If you must, then small amounts throughout the day is much better. There is a risk, however, that you should be aware of. If something goes wrong with your ato, you can overdose on kalk. I, personally, am willing to take that risk. You can always user a controller to tell you ato to stop topping off if pH > x and alert you ![]() ________ Roll A Joint Last edited by imcosmokramer; 08-14-2011 at 07:35 AM. |

![]() Nothing will go wrong with my ATO, it's PLC controled, and yes, it's on a float sw. I dont have the sw control the pump directly, there is a timer programed in. A 'debounce' timer. The floats like to bounce a bit. turning on/off/on/off. This is hard on pumps. The Debounce timer is set so the float has to be ON for X time, before turning the pump on. Presently, I have it set for 20 minute's I think. Which equate to 2-3 cups water evap. If I lower it to say 1 minute, it should be <1 cup. Longer times mean less pump cycles, less wear. Starting and stopping is harder on contacts and motors than leaving them run

![]() got a Ca reactor and they can sort of be set and forget but considering moving to a dosing unit. Been reading good things about the Bubble-Magus BM T-01
