I am new to the osmolator, I have had mine installed for about a week and LOVE IT!
One of the best investments for my tank yet.
I used to use a DIY floatswitch/MJ400 job for top off duty and I had the MJ400 sitting in a tub of limewater. Now, I'm wondering if I can use the metering pump the same way?
I'm sure it's not recommended but I don't really want to invest in a reactor or a doser as i fear the doser won't hold enough kalk and I will have to continuously add more kalk to it.
I do not mind replacing the metering pump at given intervals so long as it's not monthly.
Also, I'm thinking I would make a rack for the pump to stand on so it's not sitting in kalk paste, but rather, just pumping the solution.
Thanks!
edit: also, I'm in Canada, would any of the Tunze dealers around here be able to get me replacement pumps? Roughly how much do they cost?
