Bro, one big flaw in dripping kalkwasser is you're not correctly compensating for water evaporation... if you drip to much you'll decrease your SG and not enough you'll increase your SG.

I've been making KA reactors with float switches to add kalkwasser only when the water level evaporates, so if you're calculated how much water evaporate in the course of a day and replace it with kalkwasser water dripping system your the best...lol

BTW: you should only add kalkwasser during the night when the PH drops off and your CR reactor during day when the PH is at its highest... a perfect balance.

Regards

lol... thanks for the offer but I'd rather use a system that work without guessing... anyway up for your sells, btw if your looking for a real KR reactor I can set you up for under 150 installed.

PS. are you using a SS316l valve?
