Anybody Stateside (US) using DaStaCo reactor?

These calcium reactors are pretty sophisticated in there design. The utilize a controller that does not rely on pH and according to many experts in the UK (Including David Saxby) are reported to be one of the finest reactors on the planet. Problem is there is no US dealer and they run on 240 v power. This is not necessarily a problem if you buy a voltage converter however I would love to hear from anyone in the US who has experience (good or bad) with this piece of gear.

DaStaCo calcium reactor is an automatic calcium dissolving beast

TTT
Like to hear if anyone has any experience or found them for sale in the US

IMO the ph probe is the Achilles heal for today's calcium reactors. They should be replaced every year or sooner and when they go bad they can potentially reek havoc on a reactor. These units seem to take a different approach by carefully controlling the co2 and the dosing with a clever controller. Seems to me to be a more robust design. I believe there is another US manufacturer that is doing something similar however the concept is still not widely deployed.

Scott over at Unique Corals has the Dastaco Rxs now in the US.

My ph probe is just used as a general guide. I don't recommend controlling a reactor with one.
