Aquatic essential calcium reactor how to?

Resurrecting an old thread as I now possess this calcium reactor and I am trying to figure out how it works but it looks like it is missing a couple of valves. Help please?

The reactor only needs one valve which moderates the amount of flow that passes from the tank through the reactor and then back to the tank again. This valve is located on the lid of the reactor if yours looks the same as the one in this picture.

I'm pretty sure i have i have acquired the exact reactor in the picture above! (either that or they both have the broken top on the ball valve.. and blue hose haha..) Now Does it need a feed pump or will the suction from the Line off the T by the pump be enough to draw water in? Min is in pieces as i redo the plumbing so i havent actually tested it out yet.

Is there any other things to know about this unit?
