I’d like to use separate doser heads to draw water from the same RODI reservoir, one for kalk stirrer and the other for ATO. Is there any way to set them up to share the same dosing container?
 
Maybe I'm missing something in your question.
2 holes in the lid for 2 separate doser suction hoses ...
Or if your container has a low output valve, install a tee
 
I think @sylvius speak about level calculation.
No, not possible.
Not directly - that´s true - you will not get a good graph and alarm when it is empty but you can logg both pumps and manually calculate how much you have used. I dose iron to two different systems and use the same container. 1000 ml in the container. I set each pump container volume to 500 ml. In that way - I get a notice when it starts to be low. when I fill up - I do it virtual for both pumps.

Got it, thank you. That's what I figured. I'll do it the way @Lasse suggests using the approximate ratio the two pumps use. Maybe a good excuse to get a barrel tender to fill it automatically when it gets low. I have a solenoid on it and was hoping profilux could refill it when low but to do that I'd need to add a level sensor and then no longer use a rervoir and just log doses for charting. Thanks all!
 
You could also setup a doser (not being used or connected) with both dosing schedules and monitor that container. I do it for my NSW (I also change the dosing "volume" as I have 2000L of NSW, but can only have a 20L dosing container. I think it's 30L but 20L / 2000L makes the calculations nice and easy)
 
That's a great suggestion, but unfortunately won't work for this because one of them is ATO so not working on a set schedule but as needed.
