It depends.
I have an ancient Kalk stirrer or the earlier kalk reactor. Use a Peri pump which will do 100ml/min. I only dose 200ml/hr *run the pump for 2min using an industrial time switch from 8pm to 8am. All depending on my DT's pH controlled by my Profilux Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk |

I was looking at one of the BRS pumps but they don't seem to have great reviews

Avast Kalk Stirrer
I use a Peristaltic pump from avast that has lasted over 4 Yrs and still going. All I’ve done is replacing the tubing inside the pump.

Second the Avast peristaltic pump. I went through two of the BRS 50ml pumps in short order, but I’ve had my Avast pump for quite some time and it’s still going strong. Here:
