aqualifter pump will not work.

aquamdeic sp 3000 offer ~15psi
Spectrapure litermeter III ~45 psi
Medical dosing pumps ~15 psi

what does everyone use to feed their kalk/calcium reacotrs?

I think many people are using the aqualifter on there kalk reactors. I'm using a LMIII and love it.

Acually that's why I asked. I tried an aqualifter pump ... it doesn't have enough psi to push water through the reactor, kinda the reason i'm looking into a litermeter III

The aqualifter won't pull or push to far, so that may be the problem.

The LMIII can pull/push quite far.

I've used the little sump pumps that come with the Tunze Osmolator, and currently a direct feed from my RO unit.

Not much time for me to be DIY so I might just go with the LiterMeter ... :/

Thanks guys for the input.
