Hi, I have a GEO reactor, and always have the problem to maintein the effluent of water running equaly, i tried several kinds of valves and methods and always the output stop or minimizes the drip rate.
i look for some different method and find the Calcfeeder pro controller of Pacific Sun

thanks

I've been using a masterflex with my reactor and it's been rock solid.
 
Here's an interesting method run a CaRx. It calls for keeping the effluent flow constant and adjusting the internal pH of the reactor to maintain Ca and Alk in order to avoid the common clogging issues related to trying to dial in the effluent flow.

 
I’m not clear on how he explains if the reactor is old school where it doesn’t have a probe holder ? I’m trying model this scenario on my current setup but i have the old school koralin reactor
