Faster peristaltic pump for Kalkwasser (Upgrading from BRS 1.1 ml/min)

[Boxofpurplerocks]

Hello,
Can anybody point me in the direction of a reliable peristaltic pump which will dose around 5-10 ml/min? I dose fully saturated kalk on a brs 1.1 ml/min peri pump, which has been great and dead reliable, however now to keep up with alk demands it has to run 53 mins out of every hour. To keep up with demand I’m going to need a peristaltic pump that can dose at a higher rate, but not too high that it doses the kalk too quick. Anybody have suggestions? Not looking for something fancy, just something that I can plug into an outlet on my apex (and just control the outlet with the dosing programming), and that will be dead reliable. (Basically what I have now but something that can dose a bit faster). Let me know what you guys think

I have a Kamoer FX-STP and really like it. It will dose somewhere over 100 mil/min if needed.

Are you mixing kalk daily into a reservoir? Have you considered a kalk reactor? I'm using an Avast stirrer with a tunze 3155 and it's working great so far.

I mix a 7 gallon reservoir fully Saturated about once a week. Thought about a stirrer but this system has been pretty much fool proof so far

You might be able to get a larger squeeze tube to increase the dose.

I know it’s an old post but how is this pump working out for you? I need something like this…

Same..paired with an Avast Marine Kalk reactor. It is wonderful.
