Kalk Stirrer Question

[tonyespinoza]

I'm not planning to start with a Kalk Stirrer but want to keep that option open down the road if it's needed.

Is there anything special I should consider or could I just drop it into my RO reservoir? (planned to be a 65g AGA tank which is 36 x 19 x 22).

Thinking Deltec KM500 or 500S.

If your looking into Deltec taka a look at the octo pro kalk stirers. they look very familiar huh?

I have seen them in person and they are well constructed.

cool! i guess the point is that it could sit in my RO reservoir as long as the top is above the water line so i can refill...

I've got a couple of the AquaMedics.. They work great and are much cheaper..

You want to put your Stirrer in your RO water?

I run a Tunze kalk reactor now, and assumed that a stirrer would work the same way. (Yes, sitting in my RO top-off reservoir.)

I prefer the GEO kalk reactor. Well built and if the pump goes out, it is $20 fix, rather than a $100 fix;) And the pump I get get locally.

Regardless of brand, I just wanted to confirm that it can be placed in the my top off compartment (mostly submerged) without a problem.

The one I posted a link to will no be able to be submerged. PM and Geos can be if desired.

gotcha! does anyone know offhand if deltec's can be submerged? if not i'll download the manual.
