Calcium reactor having trouble keeping up so I decided to build a kalk stirrer to supplement.
Had a Vertex reactor sitting around so I used it as the main body, also had a Drew's doser that turns @ 8 rpm so I mounted to the top as the motor, shortened the power cord to make easier to unscrew the lid to add kalk. got a shaft coupling and a peristaltic pump off ebay for $60 CAD, used some cpvc for the shaft and voila.
I run the stirrer for 1 minute every 60 minutes and set the pump to match my evaporation, it runs constantly. Dialed my calcium reactor back about 25% and seems to be holding stable. Still have to mount the pump and tidy up the cords
