ATO feeding kalk on different floors
Hi, I am planning on installing my top off bin and RO/DI in the basement which is 4 meters below the first floor where the main tank and sump is located. I am also setting up my deltech kalk stirrer on the first floor beside the sump. Will this be a problem? I will install a wye check valve for the ATO pump, and another stock mini check valve from Deltech that came with the stirrer. Thanks!!

Thank you for the reply, but sorry I forgot to mention, the ATO system I am using is the Storm Pro from Genesis Reef. The total system is rather large, about 1500 gallons. So ATO pump has to be stronger I suppose? I am running halides so looking at a good amount of evaporation everyday. Yifan |

Look into a Litre Meter from Spectrapure.
Available with extra pump modules that may do everything you need.

Thank you for the reply and info. I looked it up online, is it this one you were referring to? http://spectrapure.com/DOSING-TOP-OF...er-Dosing-Pump If so, I couldn't find the maximum output info of this pump. I need around 10+ gallons a day for ATO. Were you suggesting I can daisy chain with more than one pump and wire them in serial and plug them all in to my Genesis Reef controller as one pump? Thank you! Yifan |

Main control pump- functions a main pump & controls dosing amounts on different pumps.
What you posted are extra modules to pump a different solution. You need 1 of each for a dual dosing system. http://spectrapure.com/DOSING-TOP-OF...SING-SYSTEMSch

The Litre Meter runs 150 times a day & you set the total amount of liquid it dispenses for the day. Any adjustments needed are very simple & easy.
No need to connect it to another controller it does it all on its own. Any other satellite pump would be for a different substance.

I'd step up to a Masterflex if you're pumping 20gal a day.
