Dosing question

[El Diablo]

I just bought a medical grade medical pump and its only a single pump.

My question is which should I dose with the pump my calcium or alk.

What ever I don't dose with the pump I will just have to dose with a drip thing that I made.

The dosing pump will just always be on time and the dosing that I do will not be on time.

I would switch to kalk water, which will dose both alk. and calcium in the proper proportion if you only have one pump.

Do I need a kalk stirrer for that?

No, you do not need a kalk stirrer. You simply add the kalk in the right proportion into your top-off rodi water. I hook a float switch up to my dosing pump. Float switches are cheap if you do not have one installed in your sump. Randy explains how to use kalk (lime) water and goes into quite a bit of detail:

You can use a timing switch if you like also. You simply replace your top-off water with the proper mix of kalk water.

You should be able to get double tubing off eBay to dose two part win your pump
