Kalkreactor questions

Hi guys, when using a kalkreactor in conjunction with a topup system, does the effluent still have to be dripped? since the amount of water going in the reactor is roughly equal to the amount of effluent pushed out.If this effluent is not dripped, would the PH increase drastically?

This is a subjective question as it really depends on your tank size and evaporation rate.

Evaporation occurs slowly and not suddenly

For small tanks, its best to play it safe and drip it in. 3ft and below.

For large tanks, its not necessary. (4ft and above) But if you really want to be safe, just drip it in.

Just don't use an overpowered powerhead to do the pumping in of freshwater. eg 4000L/hr.

Effect on PH is as above also.

Huh the reactor is basically just a plastic (acrylic of PVC) cylinder, how would it be damaged?

You mean if too much water gets pushed into it but only a small output allowed? So pressure bulit up thus reactor spoil? I doubt it would happen... worse comes to worse the reactor would leak if not properly sealed
